ONCE AGAIN, the "detainees" are prisoners of war, and some of them may be war criminals. As is the thousands of year old custom, prisoners of war should be held till the end of the war. In a precedent set by the nuremburg trials at the end of WWII, the war criminals among them should be tried at the end of the war by a military commission like setting, not an ordinary court trial, which has nothing to do with the disposition of captives in wartime. All this whimpering and angst over wartime captives is about a non-existent problem, and it's subtext is the continuation of the leftwing fantasy that we aren't fighting a war, and al qaeda and the taliban should be handled as if they robbed the local 7-11.

[QUOTE="Rick, post: 151014, member: 577"] ONCE AGAIN, the "detainees" are prisoners of war, and some of them may be war criminals. As is the thousands of year old custom, prisoners of war should be held till the end of the war. In a precedent set by the nuremburg trials at the end of WWII, the war criminals among them should be tried at the end of the war by a military commission like setting, not an ordinary court trial, which has nothing to do with the disposition of captives in wartime. All this whimpering and angst over wartime captives is about a non-existent problem, and it's subtext is the continuation of the leftwing fantasy that we aren't fighting a war, and al qaeda and the taliban should be handled as if they robbed the local 7-11. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
