The Bush Nov. 13 order establishing such commissions has already said the tribunals might not carry the "reasonable doubt" burden of proof or other principles generally recognized in U.S. civilian courts.

Abraham Lincoln's secretary of war decided to try the alleged conspirators, anti-war Democratic politicians, before a commission composed of military officers. The suspects were indeed tried by the tribunal and several were sentenced to be hanged.
But the condemned men appealed their case, called Ex Parte Milligan to the Supreme Court, which decided after the war had ended, in 1866, that civilians could not be tried by a military tribunal if the civil courts were open and functioning.
Roosevelt, declaring the suspects had no right for trial in U.S. civilian courts, appointed a military commission that subsequently sentenced the saboteurs to death. Today, many experts believe Roosevelt chose to try the suspects by tribunals because government agencies had bungled the case.
But their case went to the U.S. Supreme Court and now serves as a model by which the Bush administration can build a framework for terror tribunals. The saboteurs' defense counsel argued that there had been no invasion of the United States and the civilian courts were open. Under the Supreme Court's Milligan ruling, then, the president should not have resorted to military commissions, they argued. Further, the attorneys argued that one of the saboteurs was a U.S. citizen.
But the Supreme Court, in the case Ex Parte Quirin, said despite these arguments, the men could be tried and sentenced to death by a military tribunal
