Word War II:
✓ Old story (September 1, 1939).
✓ Thousands of articles likely omitting full context.
✓ US Constitution does not cover the British.
✓ Already covered. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1507526
No discussion required.

It is an ongoing story, the man is still imprisoned.
If he had been released and nothing further had happened, maybe you could say "No discussion required".

Downvotes, what on earth for? Is it the checkmarks?
Edit: not meaning to complain, I was trying to sort out if it was the Unicode, the tone, the list format, or the "no need to discuss" which is probably a bit rude.
I was hoping to make a quickly read mark that would let people know HN had already been over this ground and there was nothing new in the article, but I failed miserably.
