There are some important distinctions to be made in regard to the interments you list. The JA was of US citizens and residents who had committed no crime. Most, if not all, of the Guantanamo detainess are not US citizens or residents. It is highly questionable whether they have many, if any, constitutional rights. The detainees were encountered on the battlefield engaged in battle against our citizens. Many were not in uniform and thus did not meet the requirements to be considered enemy combatants under the Geneva Conventions. So one cannot advance this debate by trying to roll these groups all up into a nice, little ball.
