Oh yeah, I'm sure that's legitimate.
It is more than their due under the the laws of conduct of war and the treaties, conventions, accords, etc. we have signed on to.
Our boys captured in excess of 10,000 people in Afganistan. Of those, only 750 (7.5%) were sent to Guantanimo Bay. Of those 750, only around 500 remain at GB. See, that review process (along with interrogation) determined that roughly 250 of the detainees were not a threat. They were released and sent back to Afganistan.
Because I would certainly feel valued if I was displaced, taken to a foreign land, given a hearing by an alien army and, then, locked away for further study. That's like the wolf going into the henhouse, taking a hen, and then asking the hen to stand trial in a court of wolves.
You ought to do comedy. Sorry, unlawful combatants have no right to feel "valued." They also have no right to feel loved, be tucked into bed by their mommas, or watch Dr. Phil on the teevee. Cry me a river.
Yeah, all these guys are innocent, defenseless, little waifs just all caught up in the moment out there in the hills.
It doesn't matter that the henhouse is a cesspool, our actions are immoral by study.
Well, at the Gitmo "cesspool" the jihadis were served orange-glazed chicken, steamed peas and mushrooms, and rice pilaf for dinner last Sunday. Poor babies, they have to eat well-rounded meals on a lush, semitropical island.
The folks at Gitmo are either:
1. Combatants. If so, they get killed or become POWs.
2. Noncombatants. If so, they are refugees.
Wrong-o, again, on point #1. If they are combatants, they are unlawful combatants. We can execute them or keep them indefinitely. They do not become POWs, as POW status is reserved for lawful combatants.
