To clarify. We are not necessarily in agreement on Gitmo, maybe you weren't understanding what I was saying.
Foreign citizens in custody of America = equal protection under our law
Illegal combatants = no dice, they forfeited their status as citizens after taking up arms and fucked themselves by fighting outside the rules of war, plus they aren't subject to common law, they are subject to military law which is a different ball game.
Hitler was perpetuating GENOCIDE with MALICIOUS INTENT. Our actions are unfortuante but they do not equate to anything that Hitler ever did, and it's perposterous that you would assert it as such (maybe you aren't that's just the way I am reading it).
