Star-Ledger Editorial on Military Commissions Vote

The Star-Ledger published a very good editorial on the recent approval of military commission legislation that undermines our Constitution and the rights it protects:

Tough on terror, but not smart (Monday, 10/02/2006, Star-Ledger )President Bush won a major victory with Congress' approval last week of his plan to interrogate and prosecute terrorist detainees. Unfortunately, it's doubtful the enhanced security and safety of the United States and its residents will be the result.

I sent in a letter providing information on how our state's Members of Congress voted. The paper called yesterday to confirm that I wrote it. There is therefore a good chance that it will be published soon.
