re: #465 McSpiff

That’s why I’ve repeatedly called the tribunals an acceptable way to determine who should or shouldn’t be detained and how to deal with the legal status. Providing these detainees with federal court access was providing them with rights that not even uniformed POWs would ever hope to achieve under the Geneva Conventions.

Part of the problem comes from sometimes having to rely on the detainees themselves to prove that they were picked up by mistake and in some cases have openly lied about their intentions.
