Daryl Wright /p> p> This decision needs to be overturned by a Conservative Supreme Court, another reason to vote for McCain. There are only two others: his support of a winning strategy: the surge and his reformist, pork-busting disdain for earmarks. br> -- Sandra Mendoza br> Tiburon, California /p> p> Question from the unintended-consequence-department: Could it be that in the future the U.S. military will report higher enemy KIA counts offset by lower enemy POW counts? Wouldn't be a shocker. Rather, seems that it should be expected. Ya think? All that Boumediene v. Bush may do in the long run is make life tougher and death more certain for future al Qa'eda wannabes. But then, it's not about them, it's about SCOTUS power... br> -- Dennis Sevakis br> Bloomfield, Michigan /p> p> We are so screwed! The good thing about this is there will now be fewer, illegal enemy combatants, legal enemy combatants, or any other prisoners of war of any stripe. Killed in the fire-fight or shot while trying to escape will be the phrase of the day I suspect, as it should be. It will be very unfortunate that we will lose many an opportunity to extract valuable intelligence from some who might otherwise be captured. (Of course, playing loud Boy George music probably doesn't extract much anymore.) This decision impacts intelligence gathering as well because of the consequences these five idiots apparently cannot begin to see.
