Congressman Ron Kind : On the Road - Blog : I Support Affordable Health Care: November 16, 2009: "The Affordable Health Care for America Act not only makes health care more stable and affordable for those who already have health insurance, but it also guarantees access to health insurance coverage for the uninsured and provides security for seniors, while responsibly reducing the federal deficit during the next ten years and beyond."

Among those powers is the ability to use military tribunals to try those who have caused us harm by violating the rules of war.

The last time the government used a military tribunal in this country to try foreigners who violated the rules of war involved Nazi saboteurs during World War II."
