The most striking aspect of the al-Marri case is that the principles it affirms are subject to widespread debate

Once again, a stellar analysis. I agree with Glenn wholeheartedly on this. People who argue that these dictatorial measures are necessary clearly have no love for America at all. In fact, I'd hesitate to even call them Americans, frankly. How can anyone claim to be American and have such utter contempt for the very REASON THE COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED? These are the very same asshats who go on and on about the Founding Fathers, all the while quite literally wiping their asses with the paper those men signed, the documents that gave birth to our country, poor benighted thing that it is these days.
Terrorists or no terrorists - I don't give a crap. Fucking with the Constitution is the one thing you DON'T do. Why? Because then we're not America anymore; we've become some backwater banana republic. We just don't know it yet.
