If you are talking Guantanamo, then what do you do with the alleged "enemy combatants" that are primarily from the Afghanistan conflict? Hold them until the "war on terror" is over (if ever)? Repatriate them? Just execute them? If Democracy is so great an export why does the principle of presumption of innocence end at our borders?

Better yet......if things are so great in post-war? Afghanistan why are we afraid they will rejoin the resistance when they return?

Give the Afghanis that are no longer useful on intelligence matters back to the Afghans to let them mete out justice. Give the Iraqis back to the Iraqis.

Justice doesn't end at our borders, but I do think we should limit the use of our already overburdened judicial system. Non-citizen enemy combatants should not be using our courts.

As far as Jose, he should be accorded EVERY privelege that every American is afforded under our constitution, because he is a citizen.
