They grabbed people ostensibly from battlefields. They aren’t collecting evidence in a firefight. This isn’t a cop tv show. Theoretically battlefield combatants do not have the rights you seem to think they do.
I do not know what rights you think I think they have… but they do have some rights in International Law, not that the USA cares but they do.
Also, if all it takes is for someone to be in a “battlefield” to be automatically a combatant, well, it only shows your very American view of the world when you have never fought on your own soil. These villages, some of the poorest places on Earth, are the battefields. Where did you expect these people to go? their summer houses while the conflict passes? maybe take a sabatical from gathering dirty water from the only river while the solutions fixes itself?
If you think Im defending this choice you are mistaken.
Fair… my point against your line of thinking is that I would bet my left nut there was less than zero consideration for the safety of the detainees… In fact, the #1 reason they were put in Guantanamo to begin with was to “respect” somewhat the USA constitution, you know back in the good old days when they were at least pretending the constitution meant something
You might want to go look for what body enforces those laws and whether the USA is part of that system (they are not).
You know nothing about me. You aren’t psychic and you have repeatedly misunderstood what was written. You should not presume that you are well informed on this subject based on what you have shown here.
I promise you there were talks about this. It was in fact covered. The catch is no one really cares about these prisoners because there is no incentive for them to. It’s akin to how China understands they shouldn’t have engaged in the ethnic cleansing of the Uighurs but no one had a “better” idea so they made the bad choice and stuck to it.
