I've read this thread with some interest and I am not sure on which side I'd come down if pressed. However, I think it is the height of hypocrisy to use the fact that we are "At War with Terrorism" as an excuse to march mud all over the Bill of Rights, then 180 and claim that the captured terrorists we are at "War" with are not Prisoners of War.
For a dumb old country boy from North Carolina like me, this is difficult to follow. We are at "War", but the prisoners we take during the execution of that "War" are not, themselves, "Prisoners of War".
