The point of the rules for prisoners of war is that they are not punished for the crimes of their country.

These guys are NOT prisoners of war because they are NOT part of the former Afghan military, and they were NOT dressed in military garb.

If you are called to fight and you are captured you were merely doing your bit to defend your country and should be detained in fitting accomadation until the war is over and then returned to your country.

Agreed. And the accomodations are more than good enough. They live better than some bums on the streets of New York.

Please take your point to Saddam though, and the other dictators.

I believe that isn't refering to the death penalty

Then it must surely refer to unborn babies. Then I completely agree with the statement. Innocent children should not be murdered, and they have a right to life. Excellent point.

I don't have a problem with that, but with certain people being detained without being charged, when this is against your own law and treaties the US have ratified. Especially if the Us are going to point the finger and accuse other of human right violations.

The people that are being detained without being charged [i]are not American citizens[i] and they are not on American soil. Hence, American law does not apply to them, unless you want to extend American laws across the world.

It is not a human rights violation, for me, to temporarily hold illegal combatants. If you disagree, then we will have to agree to disagree on this point.

I think that rule is to prevent minorities being banned from workplace and income

Then it should be rephrased. As it stands, I completely disagree with that statement.

i was correct

Of course. Everyone else has to be wrong because only you can be correct.
