Guantanamo POWs
Re “Obama sets new rules in war on terror,” Jan. 23
With President Obama’s executive order directing the closure of the prison at Guantanamo Bay, many folks are wringing
their hands over what to do with those prisoners refused return by their native countries.
I don’t know why we are forced to reinvent
the wheel every time we enter a war, including the “global war on terrorism.” Live up to the Geneva Convention, declare these and all future
captives POWs, and build POW camps just like what was done in the United States during World War II.
