19. So the Nazis are our benchmark now?

Anything short of a concentration camp is acceptable?

Also, they are not detainees. That is someone who is briefly stopped pursuant to Terry v. Ohio based on suspicion but no probable cause for a search or an arrest. People who are imprisoned during a war are called prisoners of war. Were they fighting us? Then POWs and international law and our own domestic law on POWs apply.

Finally it is not OUR policy. This is Bushco's doing alone.
