This is a good topic. None have been found guilty. So that bothers our American sense of justice. However, I've been thinking about this quite a bit. I honestly think that no non-citizen of the US is ENTITLED to a trial by jury by American citizens. If you are caught and incarcerated during a war against America, you are simply not entitled to a trial by jury in an American court. 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.
