Why does anyone think noncitizens, captured on foreign fields in far wars, should be tried in civilian courts? These are in effect if perhaps not the letter of the law prisoners of war. No responsible government tries enemy prisoners of war, whether they've been annoying to it or not.

That some think this is the right way to proceed has been made plain. Why they think that way, well, there's where the explanation runs thin. What does it look like?

The try-them faction seems to be following a defeat-America agenda. This is treason, as the Constitution defines it, and no yelling about not saying treason aloud should be allowed or contemplated. Traitors, of course, will do exactly the thing they should not. It's the sort of thing that persuades me they are either not democrats, or else possessed only of summer-day IQ's.
