The Legal Framework for Gitmo

I believe that they can be shot (and should be if Al Qaeda) but not tortured. What constitutes torture is of course the question. An execution would require a court or tribunal I believe, but not the extensive kind we are used to. A summary judgement as to the facts would probably be enough.

The Hague Conventions of 1907 cover the spefics that a waring party must do in regards to summary judgements for individuals who fall within that catergory.
