The problem is now the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the Guantanamo detainees can tie up U.S. Courts to challenge their detentions. That means U.S. District Court and U.S. Courts of Appeal, not Military Tribunals which is what they should get, if there is evidence of individuals not following the rules of war.

Point out such requirement. These guys seem not to agree. campusprogram.com campusprogram.com If there is not international agreement even as to whether such a thing as an "illegal combatant" exists, how can there be agreement as how to determine whether any person is such?

The military convene competent tribunals. There have only been three countries ever to convene such tribunals, US, Canada and Britain. Canada decided that a single military officer would be the tribunal. The us has at least one JAG representative required. Once again we are stuck with rules written for the last conflict being interpreted for the current one. In WWI the 1910 Hague rules didn't exactly fit either. We are trying to muddle through. We are doing pretty darn good. Remember, these guys were not in uniforms of a government. Most of the Geneva Conventions do not apply.
