This is from an article titled, "A New Form of
State", Part 1: "'Enemy Combatant' or Enemy of the Government?":

"By introducing the concept of war into national law, the latest U.S.
anti-terrorist law, the Military Commissions Act of 2006 (MCA), produces a
turning point in the legal and political organization of the Western world.
It puts an end to a form of state that succeeded in "establishing peace
internally and excluding hostility as a concept of law." It is the
constituent act of a new form of state that establishes war as a political
relation between constituted authorities and national populations."
