Marvin Olasky interviews Discovery Institute Senior Fellow John Wohlstetter, author of The Long War Ahead (Discovery Institute Press, 2008) in the June 14-21 issue of World magazine. The link is good for a few introductory paragraphs, then you have to pay--and it's worth it.
John is prophetic with his warning--in an interview that took place before the new Supreme Court ruling on Guantanomo--that "9/10 judges" "would give terror detainees more rights, despite their being unlawful combatants who do not comply with the laws of war, greater rights than we have given to lawful combatans in prior wars." In fact, as he observes, lawful combatants, if freed by a court, often would be less dangerous to public safety than a terrorist who is freed on some technical ground.
Find a comfortable chair out of the sun this Saturday, Flag Day, and read The Long War.
