By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the Military Commissions Act of 2006 (Public Law 109‑366), the Authorization for Use of Military Force (Public Law 107-40), and section 948b(b) of title 10, United States Code, it is hereby ordered as follows:


Section 1. Establishment of Military Commissions. There are hereby established military commissions to try alien unlawful enemy combatants for offenses triable by military commission as provided in chapter 47A of title 10.


Sec. 2. Definitions. As used in this order:


(a) "unlawful enemy combatant" has the meaning provided for that term in section 948a(1) of title 10; and


(b) "alien" means a person who is not a citizen of the United States.


Sec. 3. Supersedure. This order supersedes any provision of the President's Military Order of November 13, 2001 (66 Fed. Reg. 57,833), that relates to trial by military commission, specifically including:


(a) section 4 of the Military Order; and


(b) any requirement in section 2 of the Military Order, as it relates to trial by military commission, for a determination of:

(b) The heads of executive departments and agencies shall provide such information and assistance to the Secretary of Defense as may be necessary to implement this order and chapter 47A of title 10.

Stick to the subject, please.
So you think a Foreign Terrorist, killing our troops outside the US, should have all the same rights as a USA citizen to a public trial in the USA?


Oh, and the Dems like Charlie Rangle want YOUR kids to be drafted to feed this war.

Just what the liberals want, trials for the detainees. I would be willing to bet the detainees will still drag their feet about getting trials.

Cold...PLAN...(not used since 1945)

Ya find em they are not in uniform of a recognized military, operating behind "friendly lines" (e.g. IRAQ).

Take em into custody, give em one chance to prove their value. Then take em out back and shoot em....((LOL)) or turn em over to indigenous forces for "proper care and treatment".

After execution the body disappears.

Stovey, why do you want to dance with all the liberals? What kind of cross-party gay are you (not that there's anything wrong...)?

There should be some type of formalized, structured process for detainees, if for no other reason than the Bush administration has such an incredible record of lying they can no longer be trusted.

This guy still trusts the CLEEENTON's


LOL..nimble one word Ginko.

Nimble you do know that the prosecution of the war is the distinct territory of the President of the US (Executive Branch).

Course good 60's liberal debris never understood the true reason why wars are so horrible.

NimbleFoot, there IS a formalized, structured process for detainees. Read the first post in this thread, and then look up the cited Public law that was passed.
