I think if we did that with the Gitmo detainees, I don't think the Left OR anyone in the world would complain about it.
Wait, maybe you're onto something there. If we treat the terrorists extra special nicely, then the liberals will stop bitching and moaning about Bush.
And then we can all roast marshmallows by the fire and sing kum-bye-yah.
You know, it's just so crazy...it might even work!

I didn't say "specially nicely", I said treat them according to the law. As I would want to be treated. Isn't that the Golden Rule, after all?
I find it amusing to see that at the first moment of a challenge to our country's values, most "super patriots" are willing to jettison what makes us different from other countries and become dictatorship-accepting drones.
No special treatment needed...if Al-Qaeda, try them, prove they are guilty, and IF guilty, IMPRISON. If POW's from Afghanistan or Iraq, hold them until the wars are over (according to whatever legal standards we follow and that are in conjuction with international legal standards on POWs), and then release them at the end of the war.
Special treatment there?
