So because Abdullah al-Mujahir was in a region of the world where there are terrorists he can be arrested? Not to sound like the bleeding heart I might be but I thought US citizens were protected by the US Constitution. By defining him as an enemy combatant he may now be tried under a system that admittedly offers MANY fewer protections to the accused than he is garanteed under said Constitution. So does that mean that anybody traveling in Montana may be defined as an enemy combatant? Or just anybody, cause hey you never know who that screen name belongs to. Shit, I might be conversing with terrorists right now. Oh SHIT! I heard sirens... [Door left swinging in the wind as I run for the woods...]
