WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. military lawyers on Thursday challenged President George W. Bush's plan to try terrorism suspects, including the accused Sept. 11 mastermind, as Democrats charged the White House with election-year fearmongering.
In a fourth speech highlighting a tough-on-terror image that helped Republicans win elections in 2002 and 2004, Bush tried to shift attention from the unpopular Iraq war and emphasize protecting the United States from new attacks as his party fights to keep control of Congress.
