Participation in an endless war against U.S. results in endless detention when captured

Apparently a DoJ taskforce has reached the same conclusion as the Bush administration on how to deal with unlawful combatants in a time of war - and now they’ve publicly admitted it.

As Ed Morrissey notes at the link, if the detainees were stupid enough to join an endless jihad against the US, that’s their problem, not ours, in terms of the length of their detention. And as for closing Gitmo, why close it? After all, it]s still the best operational venue for terrorist detention, and if it’s agreed that we need to detain the captured jihadists indefinitely, then at least let’s hold them in the place we designed for it in the first place and which has already been paid for.
