Howard Dean is "Against military tribunals, labeling of "enemy combatants".
In World War 2, Democrat President F.D.R. used military tribunals to find enemy combatants guilty. Within hours of the court rulings, the terrorists were executed.
My guess is liberals today would be screaming from mountain tops if our government currently treated enemy combatants the same. Is it true today's liberals play footsy with enemy ?combatants?

"On August 8, 1942, FDR completed his review of the proceedings. The President ordered the execution of six of the men, sparing Burger and Dasch because they had cooperated. (Burger was given life, and Dasch, 30 years.)
