I am not advocating that U.S. citizens be denied due process under the law - the Padilla ruling was a wrong call.
My concern is about the handling of enemy combattants - but now that the Court has rules, I stick with my prediction that legal authority will be transferred to another nation's while the U.S. guards the prisoners for "security purposes."
tecoyah - I don't see the word "junior" as being more offensive than being called a racist.
As for the nature of the enemy, you are missing the point. We have visibility into portions of the enemies' network which have declared war upon us and engaged in massive acts of terror. They have shown a repeated disregard for the standards of civilized behavior as evidenced by the execution of innocent civilians. We do not know the full extent of their orginazation, resources etc. The lack of that knowledge is dangerous - and needs to be addressed.
