So I say we ust the Geneva Convention and treat them as spies. Then we can just kill them on spot.

I’ll admit that I’m not conversant with with the Conventions to know that rule. It seems to run counter to this:

Part I. General Provisions
Art. 5
Where in occupied territory an individual protected person is detained as a spy or saboteur, or as a person under definite suspicion of activity hostile to the security of the Occupying Power, such person shall, in those cases where absolute military security so requires, be regarded as having forfeited rights of communication under the present Convention.

In each case, such persons shall nevertheless be treated with humanity and, in case of trial, shall not be deprived of the rights of fair and regular trial prescribed by the present Convention. They shall also be granted the full rights and privileges of a protected person under the present Convention at the earliest date consistent with the security of the State or Occupying Power, as the case may be.

What are the details?

Why the hell are we even having court cases with these people. Did we do this in WWII, Civil war, Korean War. This is a joke and we should not have any kind of court cases with these POWs.

I guess that this is the corner the Administration has painted itself into. These aren’t POWs. If they were POWs, there would be a whole set of rules that govern how they should be treated. These guys are “enemy combatants.” And remember: you can’t use WWII or the Korean War or anything else as a precedent. This is “a different kind of war”–that is the point the Right has been making for the past seven years, right? So there need to be different rules that govern what you do.

“This ruling is BS and you know it in you black heart… but you would never admit it…..”

This ruling is correct.

The case brought against Hamdan was weak (indeed, many think it was, in your words BS).

My friends, Smith and Wesson will be along for the ride.

If you were a driver for a mob boss…. and obviously had knowledge of what they did…
would you be guilty too???

Yes you would because by not saying anything that makes you in agreement with their actions…

This ruling is BS and you know it in you black heart… but you would never admit it…..

Yes,, there are liberal P’sOS in the military… oddly enough they are lawyers…

Rather, serious career military officers are not at all persuaded by the dubious legal adventures of the Bush Administration and prefer the actual rule of law and have become sick and tired of GITMO.

Just a hunch.
