[QUOTE]Originally posted by Vogon Poet: [QB] I'm not saying that he should be treated differently, just that his exact status should be determined. Either he is held to be first and foremost a US citizen, who has therefore committed treason; or, he is a Taliban fighter and should be treated however the rest of them will be. Given there's no war [i]per se[/i], that rules out straight internment without trial as a POW. And with the current plans for the proposed powersharing goverment, it's unlikely that massive trials against people at his level will occur, rather it's the leaders who'll be put on trial. Well, I say that, but then again, it's the leaders of the Taliban who will likely be called to serve in the powersharing government, so maybe they'll try to appease the people of Afghanistan by using their own soldiers as scapegoats. . .
