I did mention the Constitution, namely some select amendments from the Bill or Rights dealing specificly with issues of due process- all of which are worded to apply to all people. The Constitution protects and governs everybody within the US as equals. We're talking about the fundamental foundation of our nation here. It serves nobody's interest to destroy that foundation in the name of petty revenge. I tossed in The Declaration of Independance for a little background and to set the mood of the people who wrote the Constitution.

I for one have no interest in treating those people as soldiers, protected under the Geneva Convention. Are you suggesting we put them into camps until we defeat Terrorism (the nation who commissioned said "soldiers"), then let them go on to lead happy lives draping POW flags from their porches?

They deserve nothing more than to live the rest of their lives and die as criminals.
