he still thinks the point is to prosecute these guys, they are illegal combatants, the purpose is to hold them and remove them from the battlefield.

Federal judges trying to horn in to the disposition of non-uniformed enemy combatants have been a pain in the butt since the days of the Barbary pirates.

At the time, the British navy had a policy that if one of its warships captured a pirate vessel and crew, they could be tried by the British Captain and his officers, and executed on the spot. Typically they would be hung aboard their own ship, that would then be set to slowly sink. There was no concern as to whether their pirate peers found the sinking ship before it sank, as the ship could not be saved.

However, US federal judges demanded that if the US Navy captured pirates, that at great inconvenience and expense the pirates were to be cared for and brought to the US to face criminal trial before being hung. A major nuisance caused by inflated judicial egos.

Fortunately, the US Navy quickly learned that when pirates had been captured, it was invariably in British waters, so they would have to be turned over to the British navy for disposition. The British were happy to oblige.

This became one of the first gentlemanly agreements between the United States Navy and the British navy, leading to many polite dinners, exchange of gifts and courtesies, and other friendly occasions.
