When we allow our response to terrorism to alter the very foundation of our system of jurisprudence, then the terrorists win.

I don't think that's what the terrorists are going for. Their aim is to evade detection and kill people (preferably a lot).

I don't think it's really the foundation of the American legal system to allow enemy combatants to challenge their detention in U.S. civilian courts during wartime.
