Al, > You did read the article I posted in which the timeline shows that the supreme court changed the rules of a military tribunal.

Not exactly. The Supreme Court didn't change the rules. They just told the Bush administration that the version of a Senate bill in 2005 was unconstitutional. After that, a lot of drafting and negotiations took place between Congress and the White House, which led to the new rules Obama adopted earlier this year.

But the new rules essentially made the military tribunal option unviable. Either way, the Justice Department was steered this way by a complicated set of rulings and laws.
