Is a person who is battling foreign invaders necessarily a terrorist? No, of course not. And another question, is an innocent person mistakenly captured by our troops a terrorist? No, that's silly. The debate is not properly about the rights of "terrorists". It's about the rights of the innocent. No, I think not. First you have to figure out what you're going to do with and about terrorists. If you don't have a grip on what a terrorist is and what you want to do with him, you are nowhere. Inherent in that will be some process for sorting terrorists out from the rest of the people on the planet. For the terrorists, you establish some defined disposition. Obviously, you don't do anything with the innocent. They are not part of the system. They are left alone. If you sort out the terrorist thing, the innocent will not be an issue.
