Well, there must be a crime to answer, which is a technicality.
I agree with Fluff. Killing a US medic with a grenade is not an arrestable 'crime'. Instead of shipping the little Queeb to guantanamo we should have had him dig his own grave, shot him in the face and accurately labelled him a 'dead enemy combatant'.
approved.
The thing is, if he's captured as an enemy combatant, then he's a POW, yeah?
Which country do we return him to?
Which country do you take him from?
The whole scenario is ridiculous; you invade a country then attempt to charge the people you fought against as if there was no invasion. If you start a war you must surely expect some opposition, otherwise why take guns?
Because they match their shoes?
The point isn't that opposition is somehow a surprise, but labeling the captured combatants properly.
If they're not POWs, then by default, they're "illegal" combatants. If they're POWs, then treat them as per the Geneve convention.
No ****?
And since we didn't "declare" war...yada yada yada....
well, that clarifies everything. You rock!
Aha! So you did learn something from Pearl Harbour.
I do. And you win today's prize for stating the bleedin' obvious.
So you agree that a trial is dumb and we should just kill them all.
Save our tax dollars.
As I jew I would have thought you'd be all for litigation....
You're a Jew? Whodathunkit.
What war?
Tony Blair thinks the job is done.
Yes, it wasn't over when the Germans attacked.
Over here that's taken as a sure sign it's been botched.
Are you calling Marlene Dietrich fat?
She sure could eat a lot of schnitzen grüben..
Don't stop me I'm on a roll.
