Do we really have a direct, irrefutable connection between the 9/11 terrorists and the al Qaeda and Taliban fighters captured in Afghanistan?

The argument of the WSJ and others is a good one, but I think the actions of the United States in this case must be beyond reproach. I don't really give two hoots in hell about these guys individually, or collectively, but I am concerned about how our actions are perceived in far-flung corners of the globe, where the fine print of the Geneva Convention may not be known or publicized.

We do not need to make any new enemies and should realize that PR can be as effective as blood and steel in keeping potential adversaries neutralized or at bay.

A good punishment for these guys might be to return them to Afghanistan for mine-clearing duty.

Fair is fair.
