US law does not apply at Gitmo. I’ve said that many times.
US law aligns with International law.
Two different concepts.

I didn’t say it was okay. But I do understand it. We call them unlawful combatants. That is a specific term akin to pirate. You can, by law, do anything you want to a pirate on the high seas. They have no rights. That’s old British law and international law. So, by calling them that we imprisoned them in a place not in this country so they would have no rights. US laws do not apply. Screwed up? SURE.
That’s why it’s gitmo. It’s not under US law. If it was those prisoners would have other kinds of rights that we don’t want them to have.
Last US War crime I can remember was Clint Lorance who k I liked some Afgan villagers. He was serving a 19 year sentance, and was pardoned by Trump.
Our laws align with international law.
The US has their own justice system. War crimes are taken to US courts, offenders prosecuted and jailed. What the US doesn’t do is wait for international courts to act.
This is what happens when you’re wanted for war crimes. The reason the US, Russia, India and China are not members is the the possibility of needing to hand over citizens to the Hague.
Somewhere in the Pentagon there surely must be a series of rooms isolated for this war. In them intelligence is gathered, counterparts in Ukraine can be in instant contact, resources from both armies are tracked, tactics are formulated, simulations are run. How do I know this? Because this would be too good of a learning opportunity to pass up.
And those folks ain’t talking.
Outright climate denial, avoidance of actually engaging the question, and zero mention of any policy Republicans might advance on climate.
That’s hilarious. The thrust you say? Not my problem if you misinterpreted simple english.
