The Balencing Act

In the Civil Power vs. Military Power segment they talked about Terrorist attacks on U.S. soil. The question is are they crimes or acts of war? They said that civil power normally is superior to military power in the U.S. Its the "heart and soul of the American tradition." Should these terrorists be considered a military responsibility? The military law is usually only used over seas in combat. The United States is not a battle ground for the terrorism war. But these people in the imaginary situation are being taken as military detainees. They don't have access to a lawyer. In the video they discuss the writ of Habeas Corpus being there for judges to make an executive decision. Habeas Corpus allows detainees to seek relief from unlawful imprisonment. When challenging their detention by filing a habeas corpus petition, the executive branch must explain to a judge its justification holding the person.
