I find it really amazing that some look for the worst in the US gov actions but see innocence in terrorists who were captured while fighting for illegitimate and oppressive regimes who openly state it is there policy to restrict human freedom.
Our options would be:
1) Shoot them instead of capture
2) Try them using US civilian law. This does not apply as they are not citizens and there crimes were not on US soil.
3) Try them using military justice as POW's or enemy combatants. If POW's they have to be released once there is not active combat. That is fine if the conflict is with another state. It is not safe to do if they are terrorists. THEY have decided to make us their enemy until death.
4) Just let them go. This is clearly not an option to rational thinkers.
Frankly, I trust the well trained members of the US military to be infinately more fair toward these people than the terrorists where when they struck the towers.
