Lincoln and other wartime presidents did as much
and were vilified for it properly after their administration ended. Chicago under martial law in 1864 and complaining about confederate prisoner mistreatment resulted in arrest and imprisonment without trial. That is if we are allowed to have a 2008 election.
thanx,
