I believe that invokes Godwins law.

Just because some Americans speak a dialect English one assumes they
are civilised. In practice this seems unjustified.

Godwin's law is only invoked when the anology is not true. In this
case, the
NAZI card is a well documented fact and invocation of Godwin is
admission of
an inadequate arguement.

Godwin's Law prov. [Usenet] "As a Usenet discussion grows longer,
the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches
one."
There is a tradition in many groups that, once this occurs, that thread
is
over, and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever
argument was in progress. Godwin's Law thus practically guarantees the
existence of an upper bound on thread length in those groups. However
there
is also a widely- recognized codicil that any intentional triggering of
Godwin's Law in order to invoke its thread-ending effects will be
unsuccessful.

On that basis further argument with morally bankrupt septics
is pointless.

In other words, neither you or any organization with standing can prove your
assertations the U.S. is somehow committing human rights violations by
detaining combatants in Gitmo till the hostilities are over. Perhaps the
Libyan Chair of the UNCHR will champion your cause and bring charges against
the U.S. in the IKK.
