He was a legal US citizen picked up in the US so this ruling makes sense to me.

Owen doesn't have any friends, he's fat and he's stupid<--- Uh, I don't know what this is suppose to mean, but it sounds funny.

I wonder if he will also authorize a rack machine, heretic's fork, hanging cage, Juda's cradle or just a good ole breaking wheel.

All citizens should be afforded the right of due process.

You are suppose to be innocent until proven guilty in this country, but unfortunately for some people that has never been the case and probably never will be.

Peace.

The judge didn't say he should be set free. So, I'm fine with the ruling. Put him in the civilian courts, charge him, and try him. The only negative thing about that is that the court proceedings will be public and any information pertaining to his connection with al Qaeda will become known to the enemy as well as everyone else. But having al Qaeda contacts on his laptop will most likely at least give him some prison time and get him out of circulation for a while.

Just to set the record straight, this guy isn't a US citizen, he's a legal resident -- a citizen of Qatar in the US on a student visa. The question is not whether we can detain US citizens as "enemy combatants" but foreign civilians (like the guys who flew the planes).
