WSJ?OTD
"How should prisoners held at Guantanamo be handled?
A. Held indefinitely until military decides they pose no threat
B. Tried in accord with military code?
C. Tried under special procedures authorized by the White House
D. Released to countries of origin
I voted for trial by the Miitary Code.
There has to be some disposition. Keeping them forever is a gross violation of human rights and the Geneva Convention.
Letting the White House handle it is a macabré joke. Fox in the henhouse. They have been 'handling' it; disastrously.
Send 'em home? That is a nest of problems. Where is home? Will they get killed when they get there.
The results of the respondents so far are with me for a change 44% say try them according to the Military Code. There is one. I studied it when I was in the Army.
Next was A; hold indefinitely. Those are the hard hats.
Few are interested in C or D.
