Prisoners of war don't get trials.And being captured while fighting out of uniform doesn't even entitle someone to be a prisoner of war. It entitles them to be summarily sentenced by a military tribunal and executed on the spot.
Guantanamo inmates actually get better treatment than what they are entitled to receive under international law.

'They never had it so good'... is that your entire case?They gained weight and all.
You claim they're all guilty. Show me your proof of guilt.
PS - Unlawful combatants don't get trials... that's what you meant to say, isn't it?

I don't have access to information that would constitute proofand you know it, which is why you've chosen this line of attack. But the rules of civil law don't apply in this case anyway.
Actually prisoners of war don't get trials. Being captured while wearing an enemy uniform is considered sufficient to imprison someone for the duration of the war.

Goshdoes this mean that my impressions,
based as they are on left-wing propaganda, have some relation to reality?
And I didn't choose a line of attack. You made an assertion that you could not prove, and I called you on it. You ducked you dived, but at last (and this is rare for you) you had to admit that You. Were. Wrong... before swiftly pointing out that those rules don't apply in this game, rubber/glue no returns nyer-nyer-nyer.

So it's not ok......for enemy combatants not to wear uniform, but CIA operatives in the field are allowed to?
Or if caught should they be summarily sentenced by military tribunal and executed on the spot?
