Before anybody totally condemns out of hand what Nicaragua does in response
to their civil war, remember a country that suspended habeus corpus and set
up political prisoner camps during its civil war, right in its own territory
for its own people.  The country was the United States, and the President was
Lincoln.  It was perfectly constitutional and probably justifiable, but the
net effect was to suspend the civil liberties of the American people.
