Defending the MCA in 2006, Bush had claimed that the US “would provide terrorists the justice and due process that they denied their victims.” Refuting the
flawed logic of MCA, Robert A. Levy, senior fellow at the Cato Institute candidly stated to B & E, “The danger in following the present legal regime (of MCA) lies in similar or worse regimes of nations which may apprehend or detain US citizens and mistreat them, and how would we deal with that situation.”
