Interesting--very, very interesting. Let's have this debate.
Whose Side Is the Left On?
By David Frum. American Enterprise Institute
July 3, 2006
The High Court's decision in Hamdan v. Rumsfeld is being reported as a defeat for the Bush administration, and so it is. But that same decision opens the way to an important and useful debate over counter-terrorism policy--and that is a debate the administration can and should win.
The Hamdan decision--and the resulting urgent need for new anti-terrorist legislation--forces a decision upon Congress and the Democratic minority. Where do they stand? What will they support?
This is more than merely a partisan question. It goes directly to the question of whether the U.S. and the West will be able to combat terrorism as united societies--or whether their left wings will opt out, or balk, or worse.
