i'd give quirin more weight...save that the SCOTUS has been rather pissy about Guantanamo in the last few decisions...and the White House has been playing chicken and not following their reccomendations. Frankly, though i have serious disagreements with Rhenquist...i find it very hard to beleive a court under his leadership would affirm non-judicial hearings based on presidential perogative. call 'em what you will, but judges are jealous little bastards, and they won't take well to having their power over criminal proceedings get gutted like that.
