re: #286 keithgabryelski

There was nothing wrong with the original classification. These terrorists were not protected classes under the Geneva Conventions, and affording them protections as such is an affront and undermines the very Conventions. They were not POWs, and they certainly weren’t civilians.

They were a class that the legal system never before confronted, and the Administration determined that treating them humanely but outside the traditional civilian federal court system was appropriate.
