Soldiers in the field do not & cannot be expected to arrest or detain individuals based on typical criminal activities or actions. The rules of evidence in criminal proceedings would make prosecution of terrorists impossible. In war, and that is what we are in, criminal proceedings requirements become impossible to deal with. That is why Obama & company do not want enemy combatants. This way, they can claim we violated civil rights or profiled them, when in fact these people were participating in, plotting, or training to murder Americans & even fellow Muslims. Terrorism is a unique form of criminal activity that cannot be prosecuted in typical criminal courts & the rules of evidence would reveal our sources & make them vulnerable to attacks.
Conflating this to criminal courts, has only enabled our enemies who will use our own justice system to destroy us while they operate under no civil code or conduct.
Once an attack takes place by a former Gitmo detainee, Americans will realize we’ve been had by the radical left who only wants to try to create their vision of an utopian world, at our expense. Utopia is a dream. It cannot happen. But the left dreams on while ignoring reality. I say, let them be the first to die for their causes!
