No I am assuming general orders 100 was written to specifically address the war with the Confederacy..Because it was and was requested by Halleck for that reasonYour assuming that a rebel movement is a legitimate enemy. The Confederacy is not a recognized nation it is merely a rebel group.
Did Leiber specifically state the Confederacy is a legitimate enemy which is allowed to conscript US citizens as it feels fit and execute them if they in turn join the US Army? Also Leiber is a legal scholarly but he is not a judge. Only judges can make case law.

I assume the United States recognized the Confederacy as a belligerent, because once again it did with the blockade and POW exchanges
You on the other hand continue to distract and provide nothing that remotely supports your absurdity.
You can ask did Leiber say this or that when you know he didnt.....what we do know what Leiber said was the code he wrote, which at a time our only enemy, and the one he was asked to address with the code, had has much right to execute its deserters as the US does. And it stated it pretty clearly.
BTW still pretty glaring your lack of providing any law at all.................One of the problems of your position and then demanding case law, is case law would require actual prosecutions and convictions......So while you say the the Confederacy was illegal, oddly enough no one was prosecuted......neither was Pickett for executing deserters.... You need to prosecute some cases to establish case law.
