I posted this response to Adler at "Volokh."

The big mistake here was allowing the illusion to arise that these terrorists are Criminals or POW's who are entitled to our legal system. They are "non-state actors" under the Geneva Convention who can be treated like spies or guerrillas. To be shot on sight.

From "day-one" the Administration should have given them a military tribunal to establish this status, and then a firing squad. That would have stopped all this nonsense. You can "dance all the Angels" you want, but International law in this case is what we say it is.

The outcome of this gutless performance by the Administration is that the Jihadists have achieved a major victory in our "4G" war.
