if they send in the special police To deliver us from liberty and keep us from peace Then won’t the words sit ill upon their tongues When they tell us justice is being done And freedom lives in the barrel of a warm gun

Maybe this is old news, or maybe it isn’t even true; I haven’t had a chance to verify the story. There is reporting that the Supremes refused to hear an appeal of a lower court ruling wherein enemy combatants are declared to be nonpersons. The search page that links to the referenced story is here. Currently, the story of interest is the fourth item down. I don’t plan to subscribe to get one news story.

If true and accurate, this is beyond worrisome. Without discussing the wisdom of our current wars, given that we are capturing non-state enemy combatants, I admit I have no idea what to do with them. However, this cannot be the best solution.

If any of you know something about this, hit me up.
