i do not think these guys meet the description to 
have the geneva convention apply. and i do not think
they should have contitutuitional rights conferred on
them. i think if we could get their home countries to
take them they should be turned over to their own
governments for trail. but, many of their countries
don't want them either. the other things to do is turn
them loose and find them again on the battle field as
has happened with some that were turned loose in the
past. the other is to use the law that just passed the
congress.
