Today's ruling regarding the Enemy Combatants being held by the government will reshape the future conflicts like no one can possible imagine.
The opinion the SCOTUS offered states that Enemy Combatants are entitled to protection by way of the Geneva Convention, protection that was intended only for bonafide uniformed soldiers. In fact, not only does the Geneva Convention specify the right & just treatment of POW's, it also clearly distinguishes the criteria of both POW's & Enemy Combatants. The opinion offered to day by the SCOTUS tears that distinction right out of the Geneva Convention.
Absolutely stupid.
