No, you don't understand the motivation of Radical Islam, if you did, you'd know your simply giving the jihadists what they want, and that's the point I'm trying to make. They would love nothing more than to have this as a military tribunal. Why else do you think groups like al qaeda don't want Gitmo to close down. A military installation were the vast majority of it's detainees are Muslims, and are held without due process. That's a PR boon for them, because it plays into their narrative. What's the point of killing all the terrorists when another generation will take their place? We're not going to win a war that way.



Nice red herring there. If you knew anything about the Miranda rights - you'd know that with regard to those people who are captured on the battlefield, we make the determinations every day as to who should be Mirandized, and who should not. Most are not Mirandized. And the people who are involved in that decision involve not only lawyers and agents but also military personnel who make the determination as to who should be Mirandized.
