If that was so than why is it so hard to bring a case against them? Should be cut and dry.

    If in fact we are fighting a "war on terror" are not he captured "terrorists" prisoners of war? Creating jargon such as "enhanced interrogation" and "enemy combatant" to justify otherwise unacceptable actions does not magically make them acceptable now.
    In Iraq there was one terrorist, Saddam Hussein. He's gone so why aren't we out of there? Were still there because our totally bungled military action there unleashed long seething sectarian animosities that led to the creation of thousands of more "terrorists".

        One problem, the war on terror is a war on an idea. So technically it will never end. A regular war usually ends decisively after one side gives up. This war is an ideological one and so there isn't any end in sight. So under those terms we could virtually hold them prisoner forever. That just doesn't morally sit right with me.
