Hmmm, putting the army in charge of the civillian population. Can't see how that could cause any problems.

I'll raise you: http://www.freep.com/news/nw/gitmo10e_20050910.htm "The exceedingly important question before us is whether the president of the United States possesses the authority to detain militarily a citizen of this country who is closely associated with Al Qaeda, an entity with which the United States is at war," Judge Michael Luttig wrote. "We conclude that the president does possess such authority."You're at war with an entity?

I thought that a country could only go to war with another country.
