Only after forming a commission to make sure nobody was profiled before they received their indictment.

By his logic we should have responded to Pearl Harbor by issuing indictments against each Japanese pilot. Bad analogy. The better analogy is once we got to Japanese soil and caught the people that we thought were the perpetrators of WW2 "crimes", we put them on trial, and if found guilty they were executed. What's the difference with the people in Gitmo? Well, once got to Afghan soil, we found some people that we thought were the perpetrators of ..... God knows what, resisting the coalition invasion I guess. But guess what, these people couldn't afford uniforms which we required in order to recognize them as "legitimate" resistance to the coalition's invasion. Therefore they weren't the opposing military combatants, they were unlawful combatants. That's it. If we could try the Japanese perpetrators of WW2, why in the world can't we try the perpetrators (of God knows what) of resisting a (now finished) coalition invasion of Afghanistan? Is there anything other than uniforms that distinguishes the two enemy groups?
