[QUOTE]Originally posted by EdipisReks: [QB] i believe that, by definition, only military personnel can commit "war" crimes. however, that does not stop a "non-combatant" who commits atrocities from being declared an "enemy of the state". i imagine that if osama is ever captured (and assuming that whoever captures him doesn't take justice into their own hands)he will be declared an enemy of the state. i don't know *exactly* what this would mean, but i'm sure that anyone declared an enemy of the state would not be accorded standard human rights. in the case of the "dirty bomb" dirty bastard, i think that he should have been declared an enemy of the state instead of an enemy combatant, being that he is a US citizen and all. terrorism makes the blood boil, and in my heart i want to see osama punished in a visceral manner, but we can't allow the government to run all over the constitution in order to protect the nation. we should save the country, but we shouldn't destroy it in the process. if we break the morality and idealism that this country was built on we become no better than those we oppose.
