During the last great war the precedent was already set. Remember the US detained all the Japanese living in the USA during the war for the duration of the war.

If these guys are the enemy of the USA and not in uniform and they have declared war against the USA then they have no rights. However if they are US Citizens then it's different IMHO.

We don't hold trials before we shoot the enemy during wartime. We shoot first and ask question later during a battle.

The point is that we have a war going on. The war changes everything according to the Bush Adm.

Many Americans living and working in Iraq and other foreign countries have been executed without due process. Some even had their heads cut off and the entire episode was taped and distributed on the Internet for all to see.

If these guys want to put on a recognized uniform and stop hiding among civilians then and only then will they be treated by the rules of the Geneva Convention. Until they they should be questioned and information should be extracted from them before they are shot for spying. That's what everyone does to 5th columnist and Saboteurs.

That's the heart of the matter and that's why it's rightly being criticized. It sets dangerous precedents.[/QUOTE]
