Bush has signed an executive order<\/a>, allowing the government to have certain folks accused of terrorism tried before a military commission, rather than in a civil court.<\/p>\n

There were no particular names named, and it’s not clear that such an order could be applied to US citizens, but — I worry about (relatively) expedient solutions. Sure, defendents in such cases would have counsel, etc., but it would still allow more control over legal proceedings (and their coverage) than I know I’m completely comfortable with.<\/p>\n

Of course, omelettes and eggs and all that. It may be that I’m just uncomfortable with change — especially when it has to do with legal proceedings and civil rights.<\/p>\n
