I think one or two of them actually were American citizens who left to go back to Germany to aid the enemy. They got tried by military commissions. and the Supreme Court reviewed their case. What I am saying is that an enemy prisoner. a noncitizen. since time began in our country and in every other country. has been treated under the law of armed conflict. not domestic statutes. That is a distinction of great significance. and we dont needthe due process rights these enemy combatants. noncitizens. have are greater than the Geneva Conventions require. and every enemy combatant had their day in Federal court but in a way consistent with what judges are trained to do. I dont believe it is in our national interests during ongoing hostilities to take away from the military the ability to classify who they believe to be a threat. what status that person has acquired based on their activities. I do believe the courts can look at every case and see: Was due process afforded?
