We don't need such a program. We have open borders and chain migration from regions that are openly hostile to the United States. That we weren't attacked again following 9/11 can only mean that no one seriously wanted to attack us. I don't deny the threat at all; I just can't credit Guantanamo Bay or Lindy England with preserving my freedom.

What is the definition of POW and will those detainees fit the defined description?
|
According to the Geneva Convention, if there is any question, the combatant status of these "detainees" is to be determined by an independent and "competent tribunal". Many of these men were captured during the fighting in Afghanistan, and would logically fall under the category of POW.
