I knew I should have gotten a law degree. F**k. I concede on the legality of due process to rebels and other peopels involved in attacking the U.S. in lands we are currently at war with. Does it still apply when we capture people now that we haven't been at war for quite some time?
If you want me, I'll be figuring out what I can do to make this illegal (as legality should rest on morality, and it is immoral to hold anyone without trial whether they are one of your countymen or not).
At least I have the Geneva convention to fall back on. I'll have to go do some in depth reading on that before I start debating the Geneva conventions applicable laws in this situation. Does a federal judge have the right to enforce the Geneva convention?
