I no time in history has any army been required to put to trial every person captured in battle, why would you expect that now?

And in what "battle" were these people being held in Guantanamo Bay captured in? I seem to have missed the "Great US vs Terrorist" battle where they took up guns and started shooting at us.
Why is deportation so out of the question? We deported Luciano, we deported Lansky.... I truly believe those 2 had far more resources and connections to cause major trouble (unions, the MAFIA, politicos they bought, etc.) than some suspected terrorists we have no proof against and have only been told that they are terrorists, by a government that lied about why they went to Iraq.
If Clinton had been doing this the GOP would have been all over him. Just as they condemned his actions at Ruby Ridge and Waco. 2 situations he inherited from Bush I, who had refused to do anything. But I digress. I was against Ruby Ridge and Waco and I am against the actions Bush is taking now.
See, it isn't necessarily what Bush is doing now, the question is how far is he, the next president and every president that follows going to go. Once precedent is set, the limits get tested. And this is a case where when the limits get tested it could all be over.
