And as soon as interrogating, putting on trial, and even (gasp) detaining foreigners suspected of trying to mass murder Americans somehow begins to violate the Constitution, this statement will be something other than a laughably hysterical example of what I mean when I call liberals "constitutionally illiterate."

I await someone to show me where the Geneva Convention applies to irregulars engaged in terrorism

I thought they were unlawfull combatants

However, if they are irregulars committing terrorism in Iraq then they should be subject to Iraqi law and dealt with accordingly - same for Afghanistan.....unless of course terrorism, murder and the blowing up of innocents are not crimes in these countries. There is no need for such people to be in US custody period.

If any terrorists are caught in the US they should be tried and punished as per our laws here.
