This is the law of the land and it says.
"The term 'unlawful enemy combatant' means – (i) a person who has engaged in hostilities or who has purposefully and materially supported hostilities against the United States or its co-belligerents who is not a lawful enemy combatant (including a person who is part of the Taliban, al-Qaeda, or associated forces); or (ii) a person who, before, on, or after the date of the enactment of the Military Commissions Act of 2006, has been determined to be an unlawful enemy combatant by a Combatant Status Review Tribunal or another competent tribunal established under the authority of the president or the secretary of defense."
This means our clueless Leader can name anyone as a 'unlawful enemy combatant', even legal Americans.
The question is this, are you happy that the government can now lock you up without any court to review it, based on only the word of the governement?
