By passing the 'Military Commissions Bill' today, the Senate has validated that which was already precedent. That, and the affirmation that enemy combatants can be held until the end of the war, and under the military jurisdiction and control. So if this war takes 10, 20, 50, or 60 years to complete, then that's how long they'll be there. Watching democrats like Kucinich and Leahy demand that enemy combatants (a special class of people they just can't get a grip on) be given constitutional rights was quite revealing. They are whining about constitutional violations when the object of the bill are terrorists, not Joe Blow across the street. They are the ones who believe that the U.S. Constitution is a suicide pact. Well, it isn't.
