I was very pleased to hear the strong testimony during today’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing regarding the federal courts’ ability to handle terrorism detainees. The testimony questioned the need for this completely separate system when the current criminal and military tribunal systems apparently work well and can incorporate the needs of secrecy and other things that are apparent. I thought it was an important hearing, and I think it’s pretty clear that the conclusion is this administration does not have to take this to the extreme that it is taking it.
