Domestic Military Detention Isn't Necessary | David Rittgers | Cato Institute: Commentary: "Proponents of using military detention for domestic 'combatants' claim that it is weakness to treat terrorists the same as petty thieves and armed robbers.
That's great rhetoric, but the law of war is the law of necessity, meant to be applied when civil authorities are overwhelmed. If the civil rule of law handles terrorist threats adequately, then invoking military jurisdiction is a counterproductive overreaction."
