On the other hand, I do think that some effort needs to be made to investigate the circumstances of their capture and their propensity for further acts of violence against Americans, Iraqi civilians, or Iraq gov't officials. I think the most appropriate court would probably be an Iraqi court with Iraqi civilians on the jury. However, we are not done with our war there and some of the Iraqi civilians, namely Sunnis, would find nother wrong with a brother Iraqi planting roadside bombs to kill American soldiers. So the next best choice is a militiary trial by appointed military legal staff. And I'll add, that we should probably hold those trials sometime within a year of their first incarceration.

That is what makes most sense to me.

That makes sense to me too. However we have held prisoners in Guantanamo for nearly 5 years without the benefit of any kind of judicial system. Some of them have been driven to a hunger strike.......of which two are getting ready to die. I suspect we don't release them because they will tell the world how we tortured them.

If another country were taking this tactics what would your evaluation of that country be? What would you think of the leaders behind this treatment?
