42. Could you explain...
How these people are "Illegal combatants"? Their only crime was being in their own country when we invaded. The old term for such folks was once partisan.

And just what is an "illegal combatant"? Could you explain please? Or are you simply paroting the sound bytes? Were these people violating the laws of their country when they fought against the invaders? Perhaps they were in violation of a UN mandate when they attempted to defend their country and resist the American attackers.

People defending their country from foreign invaders...
I thought that term was Patriot.
