Terrorist Amnesty

Iraq is apparently going to free people from its prisons who have fought against American soldiers. Republicans say okay, Democrats are quite angry.

I guess I'm with the Republicans on this one. America declared war on Iraq. The terrorists were/are Iraq's de facto army. Just as there are a lot of German World War II veterans who killed Americans who didn't serve jail time, I guess that Iraq's "soldiers" can have some kind of amnesty.

Still though, it doesn't send a very good message does it? Americans aren't really at "war" (as traditionally defined) right now. (Perhaps "Mission Accomplished" was when it ended?) I guess, as per usual, I'm half-and-half on this one.
