Shouldn't it be
ALLEGED "terrorist combatant"
SUSPECTS....or have you forgotten innocent until proven guilty.
Turning over such alleged suspects to "allies" with harsher laws of prisoner treatment than ours...or extraordinary rendition....is ILLEGAL under US treaty obligations. (There is circumstantial evidence that Bush has already done this...making him, if those allegations are ever proven correct, a war criminal).
The Democrats dont need to create new legislation...on this issue, they have the Constitution on their side.
