re: #116 Sharmuta

You think we should have our soldiers reading Miranda rights to the taliban? What happens when some soldiers decided it would be easier to keep shooting than to capture people? Would we consider that a war crime and prosecute our own soldiers? What kind of national security concerns will come up at these trials? Why do we have a separate system for military justice? Do you think military courts are violating the Constitution? Do you think it’s right for the Attorney General to presume guilt in these cases?

I can think of a host of other questions as to why this decision is problematic.

Combatants are one thing, but these are people (however horrible they may be) that we’ve had in our possession for nearly a decade.
