...finally, there is the wartime imperative for secrecy. In a by-the-rules bin Laden trial, we would inevitably have to compromise myriad sources to document his links to various terror attacks. Bin Laden used to communicate by satellite telephone. In the New York City trial of the bombers of the U.S. embassies in Africa, a January 2000 release of documents revealed that these communications had been intercepted by U.S. intelligence. As soon as that testimony was published, Osama stopped using the satellite system and went silent. We lost him. Until Sept...

...Administration officials tell TIME that bin Laden was an Al-Barakaat founder and that Al-Barakaat's chief, Ahmed Nur Ali Jamale, steered money--possibly tens of millions of dollars a year--to a Somali affiliate of al-Qaeda known as Al-Ittihad Al-Islamiya, or AIAI. One U.S. document says bin Laden and AIAI "benefit[ed] from every transaction," with AIAI typically taking a 5% transfer fee, some of which finds its way to bin Laden groups...

We do not know yet under what circumstances the president intends to activate a military court, and it is likely that the president and his advisors have...
...appointment of a Justice Department attorney this week to flesh out Bush's order is welcome, because the current document seems incomplete in at least three respects: it does not define "terrorism," rules of evidence for a military trial are not specified and it makes what in most cases may be a vain attempt to ban an outside nonmilitary judicial review of any American military trial in the U.S. or abroad. For example, if a suspected terrorist were apprehended in France, it seems unlikely that the French judiciary would turn the suspect over for military trial in France...
