Default RE: Dubya responsible for Detainee Psyhosis - Ohh the Horror

How do you handle people who were fighting with al queda, planning suicide missions, fighting without uniform, without country. Who do you "release" them to? They aren't soldiers of a country that you can pressure to control them? They aren't soldiers of a defeated country that is under your control?

As erica says, you can't just say that people who flought all accepted mores, legalities can be handled as a common criminal is.

You CAN make a case that these people should be tried in a military court and summarily executed, without that thought that you are somehow being an animal. However with the politics today, they would be helf up as victims of the evil US government.

What WILL happen however if this kind of legal challenges continue, is the us will nto accept control of any combatants. They will immediately be shipped off to another third-party that doesn't have the amount of hand-wringers we do here. There are worse consequences for these "detainees".

They deserve no geneva convention guarantees as they don't abide by them.
