>1). Congress Must Assert Its Oversight Authority!

>Earlier this week, President Bush issued an executive order that would
>allow special military tribunals to try non-citizens charged with
>terrorism. This action followed another Administration-issued regulation
>that gives the government the power to listen in on any conversation
>between a suspect and his attorney.
>
>Both these measures threaten to essentially eviscerate key constitutional
>protections. Military tribunals would authorize secret trials without a
>jury and without the requirement of a unanimous verdict, even in situations
>where the defendant could face the death penalty. Furthermore, allowing the
>government to eavesdrop on any conversation would severely damage the right
>of defendants to receive adequate counsel.
