Star Trek: Deep Space Nine/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

** Original Poster: But that's exactly my point. Since the Cardassians have ''already'' promised that they released all their Bajoran prisoners, the Federation and Bajor should take a more hard-line stance when Cardassia attempts to negotiate with the release of (allegedly nonexistent) Bajoran prisoners. Their governments should say, ''"What'' Bajoran prisoners? Your government already agreed to release ''all'' of them, and we demand that you live up to that agreement."

*** I agree; this is a simple continuity problem.

** It could have been a one-time amnesty at the end of the occupation; the Bajorans captured later would be members of the Maquis or other terrorists that carried on the fight after the occupation was over. Though they may be criminals, Bajor would want their citizens back because their government knows full well how harshly Cardassians treat their prisoners.

** It could have been that the Cardassians were releasing all ''political'' prisoners in that agreement, and later prisoner releases were for crimes such as murder, theft, etc. that took place under the Occupation. Or prisoners taken since the end of the Occupation for things like border incursion, smuggling, or espionage.
