As these people wear no uniforms and do not fight under the flag of any country, the Geneva Convention should not apply to them.
Those currently held at Camp Gitmo are being treated rather cushily, in my opinion. Good food, top-notch medical and dental care. Top of the line prosthetics for those who need them. Interrogations are highly restricted. There are about 400 POW's down there - with over 1,000 attorneys to represent them. They do not belong in U.S. courtrooms. Military tribunals have always been the norm. But this is now being challenged by the Left.
In the meantime, our military personnel are under constant attack. The Gitmo POW's use all manner of items with which to try and kill them - including parts removed from toilets. Even our doctors must wear full body armor when treating prisoners.

I agree with you, but you have the
great American constitution? One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter, remember the history of the war of independence.
