[QUOTE]Originally posted by Vogon Poet: [QB] I think you're getting bogged down in the same arguments again. The central issue here is, what legal status do the detainees hold? This in turn dictates how they are to be held and treated, and the legal rights - first, that the US have in detaining them, and secondly who tries them. (I hope that sentence made sense, don't feel very articulate tonight!) I hope we all agree that there needs to be some due process of law, right? That way we'll be able to determine any among them who might NOT be Al-Qaeda. Just saying "oh, they've all been interned as such, therefore they must all be" doesn't cut it. I'll be as happy as anyone to see these guys hung out to dry, but if they're POWs then they should be treated as such, and if not then their status needs to be determined before it becomes the central issue and clouds the real reason why they've been locked up.
