The Bush administration authorized a framework for military commissions to try alleged terrorists, arguing they offer secrecy and speed beyond conventional courts. Officials say Congress approval is not required, with rights to counsel and jury trial preserved, while noncitizens would be the primary targets. The move echoes wartime tribunals used after 1942 and raises significant legal questions about presidential power.
