Military Tribunals or Civilian Justice

If you think the idea of military tribunals belong somewhere else - like Saddam's Iraq or Mynnamar or Peron's Argentina - then look at A Call to Protect Civilian Justice: Beware the Creep of Military Tribunals from the American Constitution Society:

"ACS is pleased to distribute an Issue Brief by Anthony F. Renzo, Professor of Law at Vermont Law School, entitled, “A Call to Protect Civilian Justice: Beware the Creep of Military Tribunals.” In cases such as Al-Marri v. Wright, a case presently awaiting decision on rehearing in the Fourth Circuit, the Bush Administration has claimed authority to subject civilians detained in the United States to trial by military commission."

How is it a man who had trouble meeting his National Guard obligations became so enthralled to things military?
