There May Be Hope In John Ashcroft's America^TM After All

Timothy McVeigh was one of the worst killers in U.S. history, but at least we had fair procedures for him.

Well-said. The NY Times article on the establishment of military commissions is an interesting read. Two things stick out to me. (1) Not surprisingly, the end-result was decided well in advance of the meetings held to discuss it. (2) More understandably given the nature of the situation and a need for a fairly swift resolutoin, lots of people one would expect to have at least been consulted were ignored.
