What is being reported is NOT BATTLEFIELD related captures but the kidnapping of citizens off the street IN THEIR OWN COUNTRIES ALL OVER THE WORLD. People who may have the same name as some "wanted" suspect or simply have a name that some tortured individual gave his torturer to stop the abuse. They are literally kidnapped on their way to work or shopping etc. and then spirited off to be tortured in another nation without any intervening legal niceties to inquire if they are even the person who was being sought. Like the Salem witchhunters, mere accusal is sufficient.

People who defend and justify a system of punishing and torturing people based on no more evidence than their simply being accused by someone, somewhere of some wrongdoing had better be careful what they wish for. They may find actually living under such a system once it is fully implemented to be much less enjoyable than they anticipated. But then, there are unteachable knuckle-draggers everywhere who only learn by their mistakes.

So you claim now, but in the article it says this: "Abductees are effectively classified as "illegal enemy combatants," by the US government, which is how it also classifies the estimated 550 'war on terror' detainees held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba."

Please support your claim that innocent people are being kidnapped.

No that is not who is being captured. Those who are being captured are either: 1. shooting at our guys, or 2. we have much evidence that they are who we are hunting for. Notice that we have captured thousands during this war and only 150 have been sent off to other nations. Also, they are not being captured in their own country, it is their own country that they are being returned to.
