Al Qaeda, Military Commissions, and American Self-Defense
Ruth Wedgwood critically examines the U.S. detainment of al Qaeda prisoners
and others accused of visa violations or of being enemy combatants. She explains that
“In a world where terrorist action flirts with catastrophic weapons, the competing paradigms
of crime and war may provide no more than analogies. Fitting the law to this
unwanted new world thus will require tact, judgment, and the weight of a heavy heart.”
