ALIEN- an individual who is not a citizen of the United States.
LAWFUL ENEMY COMBATANT- individual who is
(A) a member of a State's regular military forces and engaged in hostilities against the United States, or
(B) a member of a State's militia, volunteer corps, or organized resistance movement engaged in hostilities which are under a command, wear a distinctive sign (uniform) that is recognizable at a distance, carry arms openly, and abide by the law of war (ie Geneva convention), or
(C) a member of a regular armed force who professes allegiance to a government engaged in such hostilities.
UNLAWFUL ENEMY COMBATANT- an individual engaged in hostilities against the United States who is not a lawful enemy combatant.
IOW if the US military attacks your home, if you are not an American citizen and you defend you home, then you are an alien unlawful enemy combatant. Therefore you can be shipped to Abu Ghriad, be tortured, and can appeal to no one - especially not the Supreme Court - for violations of Fundamental Human Rights.
Even if you are covered by the Geneva Convention - even if you are a citizen of a country that ratified the Geneva Convention - according to this law, you no longer have any human rights.
