If you don't want enemy combatants held without trial, how would you handle prisoners during a war then? There were millions of enemy soldiers held in warring countries during World War II. Do you want them to get a court hearing or just be released into your own country in the middle of a war?

Granted, there is real legal confusion in these cases, since our Era has decided to fight many wars without _declaring_ a state of war. This is the current condition...

That’s the dilemna we are up against.

It is a sticky situation, but I don’t think indefinite prison status is the answer either. We must figure out a new way to handle this type of ‘war’ combatants.
