re: #260 lawhawk

The odd status is because they are not POWs under the Geneva Conventions, and their defense teams were successful in swaying the courts into giving them a status that exceeds that of POWs, who would never have access to the federal courts in a way that these detainees do.

You seem to be blaming the defense teams instead of the people that mishandled their original classification and detainment.
