The problem, like I said before, is we don't want to make it more difficult for the Executive brank to fight the war on terror. That is why I think it would be better to just have congressional review but not have judicial review. Judicial review would muck up the system to much.
What you are saying is profoundly unAmerican. We revolted from English rule to avoid living under an unchecked executive branch. There is a reason why we have checks and balances. The legislative and judicial branches are coequal parts of the government, not mere impediments to the President's wishes.

It's astonishing to me that you can say the things you say in this post and then turn around and suggest that the global war on terrorism does not implicate our rights. If the executive branch is unchecked by the judiciary or the legislature, we have no rights.
