There is nothing about protecting foreign born, non-American terrorists captured on the battlefield trying to kill American servicemen, that protects me.

In the least.
I can see the argument, and I have made it myself, but really what harm occurs to you and me, if the protections are afforded to others?

What harm is there in requiring a prosecution to actually use time-honored methods to prove its case?
