Senators demand info on 'enemy combatants'

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7 (UPI) --Two powerful senators are demanding explanations from Attorney General John Ashcroft and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld as to why two United States citizens have been detained as "enemy combatants" -- a Bush administration designation that condemns them to a legal limbo in which they have no access to their attorneys or the evidence or the charges against them.

It's time the Congress started paying as much attention to the U.S. military justice system. There is no sweeping body of law the Congress has concerned itself with less than that goverining the scope and operation of the American Armed Forces.
