US-Israel – Panel Discussion

During her hearings to be confirmed as Solicitor General, the New York Times paraphrases Kagan as saying “that someone suspected of helping finance Al Qaeda should be subject to battlefield law — indefinite detention without a trial — even if he were captured in a place like the Philippines rather than a physical battle zone.” –Charlie Savage, Obama’s War on Terror May Resemble Bush’s in Some Areas, The New York Times, 17 Feb 2009.
