If you're thinking Geneva convention, think again.  There is no provision in the GC that allows the above described persons to be brought before any <em>CIVIL</em> court, only military tribunals.  And there is no time limit on how long you can hold them, and you have every legal right to shoot them on the spot according to the GC.  I'm not kidding, read it.  I’m just curious, a band of men who are not Americans, in civilian clothes put together a truck bomb and blow up a polling place in the backwoods of Afghanistan.  Exactly which American court has jurisdiction over this crime and under what authority?  How is it possible that these men could legally ever end up in front of any American judge.

The detainees should be divided up among those who want to close Gitmo; they can take these poor victims of the Bush war home with them. Surely they have room in their homes for them!
