Actually it has nothing to do with religion, muslim or otherwise. These are multiple groups of ignorant fanatics (not necessarily uneducated) who are being manipulated by some power crazy mulahs into believing that their lot in life has been caused by the 'unbelieving heathens'. Like some of our youthful (and not so youthful) college folks, they are easily manipulated into believing that America is the problem. If we don't get a hold of our education system - we 'gonna lose this country'!
I have a better suggestion. Each detainee should be put under house arrest under the daily care of an ACLU lawyer.
Hide the cutlery!
You should be familiar with In Re Quirin, the unanimous Supreme Court decision in 1942 which approved the trial, and execution if so ruled, of "illegal combatants" including two who claimed to be American citizens. And the "trials" you refer to for Hale and Andre were, exactly as I said in my column, "drumhead trials."
These are "military tribunals" on the battlefield. They have nothing to do with ordinary US civil or criminal courts.
You are reading the right sources. You are just not comprehending what you are reading.

No, there is yet another class mentioned in the Conventions, that of saboteur or illegal combatant. Under the Conventions, this group has less protections than the other two and the Conventions make it quite clear that they can be held incommunicado for the duration so long as the holding country deems them a threat.
The Muslims!!!!!!!! They are the worst.
Well my friend, if the Muslim's are not controlled then you won't have to wonder just what they would do to us!!!!!!!!!!
Great article. I am passing it along with the length to your post.
Thanks for posting it.
once Bush showed weakness by saying "all options are being looked at", the weak hands started to fold. Cheney seems to have taken a tough stance, but its up to Bush to refute these lies from the left about Gitmo.
length = link
(How did I miss that?)
VP Cheney was just shown LIVE on FNC addressing the NPC and imo, made it clear as only our guy Cheney can, that Gitmo is not going anywhere.
Well you have a point, but ignorance and poverty (heavy on the ignorance) are the reasons these killers are persuaded to hate to the point where they will kill themselves for the cause. Our problem is that too many of our own people just don't understand that warfare is inherent in mankind and they had just better get used to it. There is no dialog here, nothing to talk about, they are fanatics and the world is going to have to hunt 'em down and kill 'em before they kill the world by initiating some kind of WMD exchange. Sorry for the rampage and to get back to your point, there are plenty of good Muslims as well as a bunch of hypocrits, Just like Christians - don't forget that these extream believers are living in the middle ages and like our 'lefty' freaks they really believe it.
The Muslim terrorist that hit on 9/11 were not poverty stricken and highly educated. Muslim's agenda is to convert the whole world to Islam, and if you don't you will be killed. I will admit that my family has an ax to grind with these extremist, but if we do not get the situation under control WW 3 is going to happen.
> Is that so d*mned difficult?
For them, Sir, I'd say it's impossible; their heads would explode.
Now, if we close Gitmo, we're gonna hafta put the inmates somehwere else. But where? Is Amnesty Int'l suggesting The Hokey Pokey?
Ya put your Gitmo in,
Ya put your Gitmo out,
Ya put your Gitmo in and ya shake it all about,
Ya do the Hokey Pokey and ya turn yourself around,
That's what it's all a-bout
All of life's a flippin' fairy tale for these numbskulls.
Must be the same thing you refer to.
Nice wordsmithing John.
