The people at GITMO, as an example, were not all "enemy combatants" by any meaningful definition of the term. The only definition by which they were enemy combatants was by the definition that the military or the CIA claimed they were such.
Personally, I don't trust the government to fairly interpret that.
Then fucking interpret it yourself. See if you can do a better job than the legislature, the courts, and the executive branch. I don't trust the government myself, but your casual dismissal of the entire process just proves that you are completely clueless.
No, that's just not true. Many of the people at Guantanamo were not "captured in battle" by the "military".
How many?
