Again, like Fool, you are confusing civil law with the rules of warfare.
No Luke, I understand the difference. Treat these people under either...I don't care.
Are they prisoners of war? Are they criminals? It seems to me they must be one or the other.... one of our citizens was not even a soldier so I don't see how he could possibly be a pow...He is a middle age fat civilian, he was abducted from Pakistan...This leaves the posibility that he is a criminal. Is the US army ever going to hand him over to your (or our) courts so this can be determined? ever? maybe? someday? when they feel like it? Do they have any evidence against him? who knows, they don't feel they need to provide any. They seem to feel they can abduct and hold whoever they want for as long as they want.
It is the US Army that is refusing to clarify this situation.
Once again, this seems very clear to me. Either hold them as POW or hand them over to your own (or our) civil authorities. If they have evidence that they are criminal conspiritors, they should hand that over too.
