That is correct. Mr Turley made it up out of whole cloth and was suitably ridiculed for it by the JD spokesperson and Sean Hannity, a conservative talk show host based in NYC.
"Internment Camps", when alluded to in America, raise hackles because it frames images of American citizens being rounded up by the truck load and placed in said camps. RE: The Japanese in WW2. Turley knows this and his use of the term despite knowing this makes his claim all the more despicable.
Now on to the "Brtish Citizens" in GITMO. They are being held in a United States Military compound as enemy combatants and thats where they will remain for the duration of the War. I would suggest that you advise any other British citizens who take up arms against this country in support of terrorists that that indeed is the preferable alternative of the two available to them.
I would also like to know if you were upset when the British Government held IRA terrorists incommunicado way back when. By the way, they were entitled to do so by the Rules of War just as we are entitled to do so now.
Cheers.
I'll keep in mind that there is a dispute over Ashcroft's quote, and continue to withold judgment on that particular issue. Thanks for your info, it helps.
American citizen "enemy combatants" should be subject to military courts marshall, unless they are in the field engaged in the conflict, in which case they should be summarily shot. If police can shoot citizens for brandishing a weapon in hostilities, certainly it is true for US citizens.
