Berkeley law professor cannot be sued over Bush-era torture memos

34. I'm sure this idea has been put forward before...

Isn't this why we SHOULD be trying fools like Padilla in Civilian Courts as regular criminals, rather then what we ARE doing with them? And shouldn't the idea that they get to have some new and weird status as "unlawful" enemy combatants (because they were captured shooting at Marines, but NOT part of a National Enemy Army) rather than just the designation "common criminal terrorist asshole" raise the question of WHY are the Professional Soldiers, Airmen and Navy personnel that we trained to destroy enemy tank brigades, air forces and navies being used as beat cops in what, is essentially, Global-level POLICE WORK? THIS is the underlying root of the problem, as I happen to see it.

Just my 2 cents, feel free to tell me that my idea isn't worth a tenth of a nickel.
