If an army invades the US to you need to arrest and prosecute the invaders if you capture them? I'm not sure the warfare paradigm is perfectly suited for anti-terrorist operations, but in some ways the normal criminal justice system isn't suited either. A lone terrorist, or a small group the you arrest could just be treated as criminals, but an organized group that considers itself at war with the US is a different story. Maybe we need to come up with a new paradigm that take elements of both, but there isn't a real movement to do that but rather a battle between people who say "we are at war" and those who use the criminal justice paradigm, both considering the other paradigm unacceptable. There doesn't seem to be a lot of effort to find common ground or to lay out new rules for a new situation. Tim
