Even they are foreigners caught fighting against us?
By that logic... didn t the Emperor of Japan deserve Constitutional protections after he ordered the bombing of Perl Harbor?
Greg P - What I am afraid of is all the tax payer money that is spent on getting these guys a lawyer- flying them to Washington (the ruling said that 1 judge will hear ALL cases)- flying them BACK to GITMO- then if a judge says let them go- where do they go? Most of them won t tell us where they came from... Iraq doesn t want them... Should we just let them loose? House them?
Longhaired Freaky Person - you should learn about this ruling. The Supreme Court didn t say anything about international law. The Supreme Court said that these guys are protected by the United States Constitution!
Joe M - if we are at war with that country and I am captured on the field of battle- not in uniform but obviously fighting... international law says that I am an enemy combatant... NOT a P.O.W. (since I was not part of any military)
Leo M - WRONG! I challenge you read the Geneva Conventions. If you are not in uniform- you don t get those protections. (not in uniform meaning that you are not enlisted in an army which is part of a battle)
OK! So- you guys agree.
One question. Do they get ALL of the rights of a U.S. citizen- or just certain ones? And who decides which ones they get?

I used to do a lot of programming in the olden days before the dinosaur and the internet. I did dBase- basic- foxpro- a lot of VB- and some others. In the past 10 to 15 years- I ve gotten away from it and have done more programming management than anything else. I d like to get back into coding- but there seems to be a lot of choices.

What is the general consensus for a good programming path? C?- Java?- Ajax?- Python?- Perl?- .Net?- something else?

Well I am going to start and engineering degree in October. I have the whole summer and basically will have a lot of free time. I am running Debian Etch and Lenny. I have a Windows XP Pro CD (not installed) so I can do any programming under Windows as well. Basically I want to be able to write small programs that would help me do a task. I am also aiming at understanding linux configuration files and writing scripts. I was thinking of starting with Python and then C. Then I read on the internet that nowadays most people messing with computers should know PHP and HTML. Is this true? I am also not sure whether I should learn Python or Perl (or Lisp)? I will have at most 3 months so I need to make the right choice.
I have done some Pascal but it was just a little bit and I don t remember almost anything. Otherwise I am really good at learning from books and you just name a book and I will find it.
