"Can Anyone Be An "Enemy Combatant"?"

I don''t know about "anyone" but GW Bush is certainly an enemy combatant. The damage he''s done outscales anything any individual terrorist has done.

Nice PC sblake, now back to reality.
If a person is a minority it is a gang.
If they are white it is a militia.
Same people differeny color.

We have tens of thousands of Enemy Combatants in the USA. They live mainly in the inner cities. They can been seen hanging mainly on street corners and sometimes in trashy nightclubs. They are responsible for more than 2/3 of violent crimes. Their rehabilitation success rate is less than 10% even after being in prison or being enrolled in various waste of time community programs.

Just about all of us have either met one of these Enemy Combatants or seem them on the streets. They are called GANG MEMBERS. They threaten others, terrorize entire cities and cause economic loss totaling in the billions just the same as a foreign terrorist would. They should be monitored and once verified by several sources that they are indeed gang members, they should be held offshore with no constitutional rights until the end of their natural life. Imagine the improvement in the cities, imagine how "potential" thugs would think twice before terrorizing his school and his city...

Don''t whine you useless piece of trash "rights" obsessed liberals.. Get behind it, endorse it and lets clean up America!

You''''re the only one here trying to pick the Dem/Repub fight. It has nothing to do with pary affiliation. Do you lick the windows on the short bus?

Talk about setting up a massive slide down the proverbial slippery slope. What is to prevent just anyone from suffering the same fate for what ever trumped up reason someone on high might invent?

If this guy is truely guilty then try him in a court of law. Prove the case against him, show the sources, etc. If not then set him free where ever it is that he and his family came from.

It doesn''t make any difference whether he''s a monster or not,Ace.The argument that the government is making,which by the way is bbullshit,gives them the right to kick YOUR door in,drag YOU off to the slam,and hold YOU indefinitely for no reason at all other than some cop may not like you,moron.I can only hope that the idiots of your ilk,that find nothing wrong with this,one day find themselves standing in line waiting to take a ride up the chimney for no reason other than your beliefs.

Well, I could easily answer that question but the question itself indicates that you don''t have the requisite intelligence or understanding of our form of government to understand the answer.

This is outrageous! Doing this to a U.S. citizen!!?? I don''t care if his name was Osama Bin Laden, if he''s a citizen of this country his rights should be respected or we''re ALL in jeopardy. Try him and hang him if they have the evidence... that''s justice. This is not left ot right, to accept this outrage is to accept that America is a fascist state.

Anyone can be an enemy combatant under the Bush regime by simply not agreeing with the government.

No one is saying he should be set free, we''re saying that in OUR nation you don''t just throw people in a dungeon to disappear. Charge him, try him, use our LAW and courts, not just some dickheaded decision by a bureaucrat.

We are either a nation of law or not. There can be no middle here. Once we decide to ignore our laws "sometimes" then we''re no longer a free country. We become just like every third world country ruled at the whim of some tyrant.

The Democrats had their chance to correct all this via impeachment but they took it off the table. Now Hillary, Obama or McCain will have the same powers to detain you as a citizen without charges and also *** on the Constitution.

"Government lawyers told federal judges that the president can send the military into any U.S. neighborhood, capture a citizen and hold him in prison without charge, indefinitely."



Ron Paul is what we needed. Instead we get same ole.
