The way I see it, something had to be done, for the sake of being humane.
Some of these "enemy combatants" are truly our enemies, keeping them in a cage does not serve the interests of justice. They should be tried, found guilty and executed QUICKLY. If our govt was more proactive in hadling these people then this would never have been an issue in the first place.
Some of these detainees are not "enemy combatants" at all. If your neighbor who wants your land decides to give a Soldier a "tip", branding you as an insurgent, then there is a pretty good chance that "reason" will be found for you to be scooped up and carted away-- by us or most likely by the host nation's fledgling military who does not have the controls of justice and fairness that is present in our system. These humans deserve justice too.
The ruling may be an attempt to bring some closure for this debacle.
If it was up to this military guy, all pows would be killed. Less trouble and hassle. I don't mean this in a cruel way, just business.
