Complaints about the law aren't as bad as denying them all together so this makes more sense. Pretenfing it isn't rule of law....no matter how open ended you believe it is..was what I was pointing out.
:roll: More just being silly.
And yours is much too narrow. The example terrorist given, if you'll remember, was a Saudi involved in many jihadist movements, was fleeing Afghansitan into Pakistan throught the mountains to the east of Tora Bora ahead of Us airstrikes. And because the man wasn't carrying a weapon when he tried to get through Pakistani border security, you would have released him. The record is clear, JD.
He had a history, as I recall, but was not involved in any firefight. He was walking.
We even brought tens of thousands of ww2 prisoners here to the US. 50,000 or so Italians, same number of Germans. True? Anyone of them EVER receive due process. And why not we just start with out first wars JD, for precedence of people around the world, let's see.......against the Barbary War during Jefferson's term as we boarded ships and invaded the shores of tripoli. Would our first foreign encounter then suffice. Please JD, you act as if I need to show you, EVERY FOREIGN WAR we've ever been in we've picked people up off the streets and seaways and imprisoned them w/o even the right to challenge their dententions. Stop pretedning.
This isn't at all like WWII. So, WWII would not be something that would be precedence. I've explained the difference ad nauseum.
Sabateurs is what they are the GC very specific. Targeting civilians out of uniform, are you going to deny terrorists aren't engaged in such? Again, stop preteding JD, your argument is sily.
There is no uniform to be out of, so not the same.
Reading his actions..based on his mindset...JD. You've been caught breaking your own rules before.
His mindset has nothing to do with it. So, again, you're wrong.
I'm unconvinced.
Don't feel lonely. You have always failed to convince me.
Been treated as such in every conflict known to man.
Where has this happen before?
Admitting this is unprecedented doesn't make you less wrong. It is the same as past wars, I;ve just given you examples. And furthermore remind you, no war is like any other. THe Civil War quite different. The Revolutionary War quite different, how were English treated then? How were saboteurs treated then?
Actually, I haven't seen example one. I'm still waiting for something that is actually like what we're doing now. You have not provided any example at all that fits as a match to what we're doing now.
