Scalia Rejects Enemy Combatant "Rights"

Justice Antonin Scalia tells it like it is. He sums up his views towards granting full rights to enemy combatants captured on the battlefield:

“If he was captured by my army on a battlefield, that is where he belongs. I had a son on that battlefield and they were shooting at my son, and I’m not about to give this man who was captured in a war a full jury trial. I mean it’s crazy,” he said. Scalia’s son Matthew served with the U.S. Army in Iraq.

Just good old common sense to me.
