Which part of the caption don't you understand? Hmmm. Our soldiers are not Detectives. They have time for Crime Scenes and collecting evidence on the battlefield.........they are there to Kill, or capture the enemy. Not read them their danged rights.........
Is that your way of telling me you can offer no explanation as to what basis would we hold people that have been convicted of no crime, nor even charged with one? Let alone for 10 years?
I didn't think you could. But don't feel bad. No one can. As there is no such basis. We've flagrantly violated our own laws and our own values in Guantanamo.
Nor is anyone arguing that they are, or should.
So....strawman.
Military version of reading them their rights...........put your hands up and do as I say or I will kill you............That is how it is on the battlefield..........
A Trial like we have here............People like you have taken too many of your meds................They deserve no trial as they are POW'S of a War..................we are under no obligation to give them a trial or let them go.
Except they're not POWs. Not only have we failed to *ever* recognize them as such or provide them any protection for POWs under the Geneva conventions, we've explicitly declared repeatedly and in open court that they are NOT prisoners of war. But instead, enemy combatants.
So your entire argument requires that we ignore they're declared legal status under US law, by the US government.
Um, no.
