Hearing Impairment
A two-part series in The New York Times explains how it is that the Bush administration's military tribunals, considered so urgent three years ago that there was no time to consult with Congress (or even the State Department), still have not passed judgment on a single accused terrorist.

Assuming Reason excludes foreign nationals captured in Afghanistan from US constitutional protection, then we're talking about cases like Johnny Jihadi from Marin County.
Isn't it a good thing (habeas corpus aside) from the civ. libertarian perspective than no one has yet been tried by a mil. trib.?
