Doesn't the collapsing distinction--on the level of empire--and collapsed distinction--in the case of the war against terrorism, homeland security, etc.-- between police and military action render a due process model ineffective for current questions of "justice"? The whole debate between war and due process seems beside the point, or rather not nearly flexible enough.
