Still, it is worth remembering that the terms “due process” and “civilian trial” are not synonymous. Due process is simply the process that is due under the circumstances. In wartime, it is simply not necessary to grant combatants full-blown civilian trials — which would be an intelligence coup for our enemies — in order to ensure that Americans are not arbitrarily detained. Indeed, though Senator Paul conveniently skips over it in his discussion of Hamdi, the Supreme Court explicitly suggested that “an appropriately authorized and properly constituted military tribunal” would be sufficient protection for an American citizen detained as an enemy combatant. The majority opinion elaborated that “military regulations already provide for such process.” The process has only gotten better for combatants in the ensuing seven years — as have their appellate rights.
