Hi,

Thanks for that. An interesting link (and site) - but I'm not going to comment since I don't want to be involved in discussing the subject<s>

Regards,

>>>The 'unlawful combantant' reason for detaining the prisons at Guantanamo Bay is flawed. The Haque convention defines a legal combatant as
>>>
>>>To be commanded by a person responsible for his subordinates;
>>>To have a fixed distinctive emblem recognizable at a distance;
>>>To carry arms openly; and
>>>To conduct their operations in accordance with the laws and customs of war.
>>>
>>>This means that both Delta Force and the CIA (the paramilitary division for sure) could be held by enemy states as unlawful combatants.
>>
>>You need to expand a bit on your argument. The definition you give obviously means the CIA etc are not lawful combatants - but that, in itself, does not make them, any more than it makes me, a 'combatant' of any sort.
