no—does that matter? trying them in a court doesn’t mean they’ll go free. It didn’t mean that in Nuremburg. And I’m not entirely certain that absolutely everyone in GTMO is guilty, and not just somebody in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Most importantly, I just think it’s crazy that we want to give this power to Hussein. “Terrorist” is a changeable definition—who’s to say the Libs won’t turn around and say that people who cling too hard to their guns aren’t terrorists once they’re in power? Hussein and his John Edwards-led justice department could put you away for life without a trial of any kind.
That doesn’t sound like liberty to me—or like security.
“Like it or not, we’re a nation of laws. The laws of war and peace are clear: you have a defined conflict between nation-states, there are prisoners of war, and those prisoners are to be treated under the Geneva Conventions and released at the end of the conflict.” Your original post.
My problem is that the Geneva Convention I recall refers to enemy troops in uniform. The jerks we are fighting wear no uniform. Even the VC troops we somtimes ran into were recognizable by a half ass uniform. The NVA wore uniforms.
While writing this I decided to make certain I was a not a total CRS case. These jerks can be shot by firing squad.
Check thus out.
