It would seem the issue here is not one of legalities of detention, or justification concerning length of detention. It has become obvious to me we are debating the term, "Illegal Combatant".
The U.S. government can do with these people as it sees fit, and do so legally. So who decides where this label gets placed.....would the unibomber be labelled as such?
If we allow this label to be used with relative abandon....do we not erode our own rights?
