I am disappointed...it's a huge stain on our legal system, our values, and what we claim to stand for....
We should give them all trials, and seperate the Al-Qaeda ones from Taliban or Iraqi insurgnets ones.
Al-Qaeda ones are guilty of international war crimes for terrorism and other non-state, illegal warfare attacks. IMPRISON them IF PROVEN guilty in a court of law.
Iraqi Insurgents or taliban Resistance fighters are entitled to POW status (just like our soldiers are), and should be held according to the Geneva Conventions, and then released after the end of our conflicts with their countries.
That's the letter of the law, folks. Either we stand up for our laws and our commitments to international law, or we start making it up as we go...in which case, we're no different than any other non-law-abiding regime. This is not a conservative or liberal position or issue...it's a question of what is legally mandated that we do.
