Without a declaration of war there can be no such thing as an "illegal combatant". Ashcroft has made the whole thing up because POWs cannot be tried.

The International Red Cross (ICRC) says it regards the prisoners as PoWs with full rights under the Geneva Conventions.

The recent behavior of the Red Cross in NYC has reduced its credibility to zero.

The egregious failure of Amnesty International to even mention its disdain for Jihadist terrorism renders it as a hypocritical farce.

Sure do hope that each of them gets a big screen TV with cable. We have to make sure that their civil rights are not violated.
