Last month, President Bush signed into action the Military Commissions
Act of 2006. At the time of signing, Bush stated that this Act will be
one of the “most important pieces of legislation in the war on terror.”
Basically, the intention of the Act is to "facilitate bringing to
justice terrorists and other unlawful enemy combatants through full and
fair trials by military commissions, and for other purposes." Sounds
like a typical necessity to fight terrorists, right? More after the jump!
