#1 I think we probably conducted a study on the prisoners chances of killing one of our soldiers versus his room and board in Gitmo. I doubt that those released will be much help to the Taliban cause.

#2 Are they making plans to be recaptured? Wouldn't want to miss out on the class action suit. And Gitmo will probably be looking pretty good when December rolls around in Afghanistan.

#3 the reason we know this may be because the releasees have little GPS implants

#4 That's what you get when you don't kill the enemy.

#5 Surely we must have collected enough intelligence from soldiers on the ground to be able to press charges against detainees who were fighting against us in Afghanistan? If not, who can we rely on to legally document the names, prisoner behavior, (alleged) offenses, release dates, and post-release activities of the detainees?

While I do have a problem with prisoners being held without charge, I have a really big problem with releasing prisoners who have murdered our brothers, friends, neighbors. How many more dead Americans will be the consequence of this release?

#6 Don't get caught again, is my advice.

All the more reason to kill these jerks when they attack, instead of trying to capture them. Getting into the legal aspect just opens up a six pack's worth of worm cans.

#9 Mike Sylvester, poseted some information that directly linked the Geneva wording. Evidently, Geneva doesn't prescribe immediate execution for illegal combatants. I was disappointed. I would search the back issues of Rantburg, but I don't have access. To bad the trolls used the search function for evil as search was quite useful to prevent double posting.

Super Hose, that posting is here.

By the way, I found this in about 15 seconds using Rantburg's Headlines feature. I selected a year's worth of headlines and then looked for the words "Geneva Convention" (I had the advantage that I remembered the title).
