Wow - if GW calls you an "Enemy Combatant", he can put you in jail for as long as the US is at war against terrorism, with out charging you for a crime.

1) What gives him this right? I'm not talking theoretical, I'm talking something actually written down somewhere. "The president has the right to bend you over." Something like that.

2)Where does it say this is not allowed? In the constitution, in a law somewhere? Specifically, please point me there. I've been looking and I can't find it anywhere.

3) What is an 'Enemy Combatant'? Do we have a definition of that? Is that what the Japanese American citizens were during WWII in the internment camps? Enemy Combatants?

Well I was wondering when you are going to post something new. I like to check out your blog, but if there is nothing new to see, not much to do, ya know?

Yea, I'm a pretty crappy blogger. ADD kicked in and I got bored. I'll let you know when I post something again. Probably not until summer.
