Another Bush administration policy will be continued by the Obama administration:
Harvard Law Dean Elena Kagan, President Obama’s choice to represent his administration before the Supreme Court, told a key Republican senator Tuesday that she believed the government could hold suspected terrorists without trial as war prisoners.
She echoed comments by Atty. Gen. Eric H. Holder Jr. during his confirmation hearing last month. Both agreed that the United States was at war with Al Qaeda and suggested the law of war allows the government to capture and hold alleged terrorists without charges.

Now that both the Solicitor General (to be) and Attorney General for President Obama have taken this sensible position, can we set aside the notion that holding POWs in a time of war somehow sets us on the slippery slope to fascism?
