...voters back home with a tough new tribunal and others, like Virginia's John Warner, who warn that moving too quickly or too carelessly might lead to another embarrassing showdown with the Supreme Court. It may take months to achieve the harmonic balance between good policy and good campaign agitprop, but any Guantánamo policy that eventually emerges could have greater certainty and legitimacy for having been forged through the chaos of democracy. "The message is that Congress has a role in the war on terror and the courts have a role in the war on terror," says Graham. "When...
