Al Qaeda declared war on us in 1996. If you can name a current detainee who opposes that war then please name him.
[/quote]I do not accept it as a given that all the detainees at Guantanamo are or were ever formally affiliated with Al Qaeda. Even if I did believe that, I don’t accept that a quarrel with a non-state entity really meets the legal criteria for a “war.” And even if I did believe THAT, I’d have to take issue with the fact that the detainees have not been treated according to the Geneva conventions.
Again, if any of this was unambiguously legal then those guys would be in a supermax facility somewhere inside our nation’s borders.
