Ralph Peters in the NYP today:
Consider today's norm: A terrorist in civilian
clothes can explode an IED, killing and maiming American troops or
innocent civilians, then demand humane treatment if captured - and the
media will step in as his champion. A disguised insurgent can shoot his
rockets, throw his grenades, empty his magazines, kill and wound our
troops, then, out of ammo, raise his hands and demand three hots and a
cot while he invents tales of abuse.
Conferring unprecedented
legal status upon these murderous transnational outlaws is unnecessary,
unwise and ultimately suicidal. It exalts monsters. And it provides the
anti-American pack with living vermin to anoint as victims, if not
heroes.

Powerline.Heck, even the SCOTUS understands that while they disagree with some of Bush's decisions, they most certainly don't want the scum let go.
