Then why are the other enemy combatants not getting due process? The ones at Gitmo, who are to be tried by military tribunal?

Excuse me if I'm confused but I thought Bush has been arguing against due process for terrorists since the git-go.

Al-Qaeda are terrorists and war criminals. They do not deserve due process. They deserve summary execution on the battlefield.

The combatants in Gitmo are prisoners of an ongoing war.
The Nuremberg trials were not held until after the war had ended.

No, “due process” can also be a military tribunal. It gets a little fuzzy since ultimately the government defines “due process”. ;-)
