Why should location matter when dealing with a borderless threat like al-Qaeda? *NM* beckstcw Send a noteboard - 17/03/2010 10:20:08 PM
If he's taken it most certainly won't be on US soil, he will be a prisoner of war, who have a completely different set of rights from someone arrested here in the states. Treating him as a common criminal that you would arrest for stealing, or whatever is an absurd notion. The crimes he committed were of a military nature, regardless of the fact that he acted as part of an organization not a country. A military tribunal is more than he deserves, but legally it's what he should get.

However I do agree with you that his response was a cop out.

That only means they are not entitled to its protections - in other words, they are fair game. Cannoli - 19/03/2010 10:25:50 PM 401 Views
Well, I guess it depends whether you want to try him, doesn't it? Tim - 19/03/2010 11:34:34 PM 382 Views
Not to mention Miranda is crap anyway. Cannoli - 19/03/2010 10:18:46 PM 391 Views
