I despise McCain. That being said, this article so distorts the bill as to be little more than a propaganda piece.

The bill is selectively quoted. Here is the ACTUAL wording:
“
An individual, including a citizen of the United States, determined to be an unprivileged enemy belligerent under section 3(c)(2) in a manner which satisfies Article 5 of the Geneva Convention Relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War may be detained without criminal charges and without trial...”

The bill is about how they are to decide who is “an unprivileged enemy belligerent;” and how they are to be treated. Also, it keeps any trial of such OUTSIDE the US. Although it is obviously flawed, it is NOT as depicted in this article. Please read the bill at the link provided, and discuss the REALITY, not this distortion.

Exactly. What were George Patton and Omar Bradley supposed to do with the thousands of Waffen SS prisoners they took? Mirandize them?
