If they are POWs they should be detained. If they are unlawful combatants they should be so dealt with. But they should be accorded due process in an adversarial process, and the Secretary of the Navy should have been savvy enough to write enacting regulations that ensured that, not enacting regulations that gutted the intent of the DTA. Sorry, but I think it is the Secretary of the Navy that screwed this one up.

Bad legal advice has been a hallmark of this administration. Remember these are the same DOD folks who didn't seem to mind when they lost 6 nukes.

Ridiculous. Scalia and Roberts are two of the most briliant legal minds in this country and they ripped you and the liberals in the majority to shreds in their dissents.

You side with the liberals who have abrogated war powers from the executive and the legislature and totally disregarded precedent to do so.

There is nothing more to say, you favor the oligarchy.
