Right. Baseless speculation. Not completely baseless, see below.

Do you not agree that people who bear arms against their duly elected goverment are guilty of treason, a capital offense?

Treason is just violation of allegiance to one's state/sovereign. So yeah, you could call it that. What is your point?
That if thousands, if not 10s of thousands of people are guilty of capital crimes we have to consider the possible outcome of thousands of capital punishments, and the consquences.

Ironic when you put it like that, but death in combat has always been viewed differantly then after capture in the American culture. And?
And IMO America can deal with thousands of enemies being killed in combat but will blanch at thousands of executions, thus the dodge of POWs instead of trials.

I think I have explained my view on this fairly well. You seem to even agree with me on some of the toughest parts, like that the insurgents/terrorists are traitors.

What is your view on the POW issue and/or trials?
