re: #21 Ben Hur

He is an enemy combatant.

Fact.

How you deal with him is another story.

It seems that in the US, it depends, or used to depend, on who catches you and where.

We’ve never prosecuted terrorists captured on us soil as enemy combatants. In this case there’s no need to do so. Why open up all the legal and constitutional problems by doing it now? We have an easy case against him and there’s no advantage to torturing him and putting him before a military tribunal? It serves no purpose and provides no advantage.
