It doesn’t matter whether you agree or not. By the Geneva Convention (that the Left loves to pretend says “You can’t kill anyone in war”), the detainees ought to have been executed on the spot when they were captured. The Geneva Convention was written as a set of “rules” for war, so as to minimize civilian casualties (among other things). Among the primary ideas, combatants should wear easily recognizable uniforms. If thye fail to do so, they cannot be labelled “enemy combatants”, and thus are to be considered “spies”... and by the Geneva Convetion itself, those who fall into the “spy” category have virtually no rights, and can be summarily executed on the spot. Bush’s administration was trying to go above and beyond the Left’s beloved Geneva Convention, by sparing their lives, wasting precious manpower and resources capturing and containing these threats, and simply holding them in a neutral area... and the Left assails him for it.
