Another Guantanamo thread

If the defendant isn't able to supply his own defense, I'm sure the State has to provide him with one. If one is being treated as a criminal.

When one is a prisoner of war other rules apply until the combat is over. In Afghanistan the war "ended" with the over-throwing of the Taliban and the installment of the new government. In Iraq it ended with the installment of their new government. Sure as church bells sound sweet on a lovely Spring Sunday morning, I remember young president Bush even saying as much.

No, I'm saying there should be fair trials. I'm just wondering how this would all be possible. Details please.

Let's deal with the principles of whether there should or shouldn't, before you conveniently dismantle a principle due to "operational details."
I think you'll find that to be the usual methodology for strategy.

They have yet to be shown guilty of ANY crime, and yet there "sentences" have already been 5 years......do you not understand the phrase "travesty of justice"?

The Taliban has only been removed from parts of Afganistan. As in Germeny, the battle of the bulge is on the horizon.

In Iraq, as long as the bullets are flying the war is still on. We overthrew Sadam, now we are helping the new gov't survive.

How have i dismantled the "Principle"? I agree with the Principle. Everyone understands the Principle. It's been beaten to death. The better methodology is to prepare for the future and get the ball rolling.
Bitch, bitych, bitch, and 50 cents will buy you a doughnut.
