Really? Look at this!!!

Well, well......is it, or is it not a fact, spad?
Actually, Pee Wee isn't right, either. There was no typo; I meant exactly what I said. Max is right, somehwat, in that they were originally held in Cuba because it was not regarded as being under "US jurisdiction." The Supreme Court saw things differently, as you may remember from their recent ruling, which stated that the folks being held there must be granted access to lawyers. Because of.... TADAAAA! DUE MUTHAFUCKIN' PROCESS, BEEYATCH!

If they ARE classified as POWs, they are not entitled to Due Process, and may be tried in military courts. Even non-citizens being held in US Custody, >>>>>NOT<<<<< classified as Prisoners of War, must be granted Due Process.

Looks like you shouldn't have napped through Civics class, Ronnie.
