re: #137 J.S.

You are aware of the nazis who landed in the U.S. and were summarily executed by military tribunal? here’s a link…

yeah, that is all about the “Quirin Case” — which was about a declared war where the prisoners were afforded prisoner of war status, right?

The Bush Administration decided to say these guys were not “Prisoners of War” and thus shall not be afforded that status, — and so we are stuck with that decision — the Supreme Court said “That ain’t right” and so we are here.
