>Come on, get real. There is a complete difference between immigrants or visitors caught here committing a crime or being here illegally - they are already processed in the civilian court system.

I have *not* checked if currently in Gitmo there is someone picked up "elsewhere" like this guy who was flown to Afghanistan. Let's just say that not all US actions can be clearly put into one of the baskets mentioned above.
