re: That is what makes most sense to me. If you are talking Iraq, then the Iraqi authorities are responsible, not the US. If you are talking Guantanamo, then what do you do with the alleged "enemy combatants" that are primarily from the Afghanistan conflict? Hold them until the "war on terror" is over (if ever)? Repatriate them? Just execute them? If Democracy is so great an export why does the principle of presumption of innocence end at our borders? If you are talking about US citizens, like Jose Padilla, can they be held indefinitely for alleged crimes as enemy combatants as the Bush admin claims? What's the check and balance on that authority? What about due process or presumption of innocence? Slippery slope. We're rewriting our laws and our fundamental principles go right along with them. John
