But really does that make sense? A Bush Administration system that is so flawed that it has returned high level Taliban commanders to the battlefield should be maintained?<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s another option:  civilian courts have successfully prosecuted and convicted over 300 terrorists, none of which have ever returned to the battlefield. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Obama Administration is currently navel-gazing about their decision to send Khalid Sheik Mohammad to trial in New York, yet the reprobates at VoteVets haven&#8217;t yet arrived at the common sense Bush policy of warehousing these bloodthirsty freaks. I have yet to hear what we do with them after their term in prison ends. Turn them loose on our streets and keep our collective fingers crossed that they learned their lessons?
