Its on the wiki and if its on the wiki it MUST be true

As for the subject, I have no idea what BDS is. Ill have to pass on that one.

If a state takes prisoners, the state must charge them for crimes or release them. WW2 was full of states ignoring that of course. Nice to see that at least one person was concerned about his citizens rights when fighting a state that wasn't. But citizen or not, I believe 60 years of prison or death sentence is justifiable against a terrorist. As long as there is a trial.

Now, why is that out of context? Because you try to tackle on technicalities? Churchill spoke of british citizens but these are not. AHA! Therefore the meaning of the words are irrevocably useless to make any statement of how a states should treat prisoners?
