I agree with Rich.  According to a Washington Post/ABC News poll made public today, the vast majority of Americans agree with the two of us.  The vast majority (over 85%) of Americans also seem to have little problem with GWBs planned possible use of military tribunals.
 
It is good that there are those among us who are concerned about misuse of these tribunals.  Watchdogs are a good thing, but their barking is not always meaningful.  Time will tell.

While I appreciate the concern that many have expressed regarding this issue, I'm not convinced that everyone believes it to be ridiculous to consider the acts of terrorism against our country to be an act of war.
 
I realize that there are 'legal definitions' to which I am probably ignorant. What I do know is that our country is faced with coordinated and sophisticated attacks at our citizens. Attacks meant to kill thousands at a time. Perhaps millions. Maybe this doesn't meet everyone's definition of war. It does meet mine.
