#1 I'm English and am not happy about this. They're in a terrorist organisation and they took their chances. They got caught, they'll get tried and if found guilty, they should be shot. I don't even think the families should get the bodies back.

#2 Agreed, Tony, I'm Australian and I'm not happy about it either. I don't want them removed further from military justice. I want them tried in the military court, fairly as per US tradition, and if found guilty, (after their appeals process etc) I want them executed and not returned so that my taxes can keep them breathing for 10 years until our lax legal system lets them free.

#3 Tony and Anon1, How dare you say that U.S. courts are 'fair'! Don't you know that they pick up people off the streets at random and railroad them into prison or death chambers? If this was an American caught by UK forces, I see no problem with you putting his sorry arse against the wall and firing. thanks for your support.
