This essay provides a rhetorical analysis of the World War II case of Ex parte Quirin. By revisiting some of the arguments that were used in the saboteurs' case, and by seeing the selective recycling of some of these claims, scholars will have a better understanding of some of the procedural and substantive problems that continue to plague the use of military tribunals.
