註釋In the wake of the September 11 terrorist attack, the government has taken extraordinary measures to protect our nation. The USA TERRORIST ACT became law and President Bush issued an Executive Order authorizing the use of military tribunals in place of civilian courts to try suspected terrorists. Other measures include detention of 1,200 Arab immigrants without charges, secret immigration hearings by the INS, and a newly established government right to use secret evidence the accused can't confront. Ted Gottfried examines the growing concern about the constitutionality of these measures in the light of legitimate threats to national security.
