The Nazi solders of WWII were POWs and had legal status and rights, not "enemy combatants" held outside of the law with no rights. The Japanese internments durning WWII are an inexcusable blemish on the history of the US, but they were not tortured and were allowed to return home after hostilities had ceased.
Your comparisons are too weak to hold water, even if you are so sure about what the SS did and didn't get as prisoners of war.
And while you are busy dreaming of a bigger and better 9/11, everybody else is wondering what Bush is doing behind his veil of secrecy, he quite openly says he is not bound by laws and really could be up to anything. And what has come out through the cracks does not look very good. You might trust him, but I do not and I should not have to.
So, we have more important things to worry about then your fevered dreams of going all Gitmo on American progressives. Take your bad comparisons elsewhere.
