By any definition you wish to use, they are war criminals - they have actively participated in attacking Americans on our soil and/killed our soldiers on the battle field.

Some have killed civilians in their attacks making that a war crime at the very least.

POWs or war criminals they are at the right place.

Give them access tour court system?

They are prisoners of war and are not citizens of the US, they have no rights to our court/legal system and if tried, it should be done by a military tribunal.

At this point I must insist that your opinions are very liberal in nature - and I remind you, this is a conservative forum.

So when are these anti Obama 9/11 families going to be put on the today show and given fawning coverage by the ?news” media? Oh, I guess that would be never. Unlike the widows who went on TV constantly to trash Bush and say he was responsible for the attack. They were operating like an arm of the Kerry campaign in ‘04 and were treated as long time terror and security experts by the media.

again i have to disagree.you say “they” have actively participated americans on your soil.for example if someone blows up a humwe in iraq how in this world has he atacked americans on your soil? and killing soldiers on the battlefield is not a war crime. it would be a war crime if you put a bomb on a crowded market place and wait untill the first US soldier arrives and then blow up hundrets of civillian to get this soldier. but for example blow up a humwe or shoot a sodier is not a war crime it´s just fighting. so not every one who killed US troops in iraq is a war criminal. some are but some are “just” fighting
against your forces. there is a difference. and yes POWs are imprisoned untill the war is over (they have to be released after the war is over except as you said you can proove him that he commited a war crime) this is international law (US allso signed this). the only difficult thing in iraq for example is there is no regular army left who fights against your troops. there for the “law” is washy. but don´t forget some one you may call a terrorist because he killed one of your soldiers may be some one else “freedom” fighter because he fights the occuping forces. of corse as said before if he kills civilians to reach his goal he is a terrorist no matter if his goal is to get US troops out or something else....
but not every one does. and to make it clear i´m not one of the people who cheers if one of your soldiers is getting killed i only watch it from 2 directions.
