George Will weighs in on the Guantanamo detainee case. I must say I disagree. Ed Whelan rebuts Will here.
Will has been on the attack recently concerning the expansion of executive power, and perhaps rightly so. But I think his concern is misplaced here. He seems to be okay with further empowering federal courts against the precedent in this instance and against common sense. I don't think there is a real threat of executive tyranny here. Will fails to make the distinction that these are not citizens or even residents of the U.S. Further, the president is restrained by diplomatic pressures when the concerns of other countries' citizens are involved.
