Now you guys invent a time machine and come to tell us which of these two commenter is right.
Although technically they both can be right, what we are interested to know is if you future guys, like us, consider the right to a free trial as a fundamental and unbreachable right in any circumstances.
Sure, we believe you can kill enemy combatants, but if they surrender, we believe they have a right to a free trial within 60 or 90 days of detention.
So come back and tell us how our government is able to flounder the most fundamental rules and principles of law.

So either you hold them indefinitely or release them. Obviously Obama believes that it is too risky to let these people go.
