Put yourself in the position of these officers who have to sit on these court boards that have been arranged....who can sit there and pass judgment on some nut? None of these officers are going to sign up to perform this kind of court action.

So what then? The Rummy board never considered this type scenario...and keeping the guy locked up for eternity in Gitmo isn’t going to be an option.

As a former officer, let me state that they are wearing the uniform of their country, they will serve on a competent military tribunals as they are instructed to do.

Perhaps. Many of them should have been executed on the battlefield because they were not covered by the Geneva Convention, and that still may be an option.

Now how about answering my point mental status has nothing to do with the dangerousness of some of these detainees?
