#2 Lutting wrote the opinion.

I've got to say I disagre with this without hearing more. The guy was an American citizen arrested in America. He's not like Johnnie Walker Lindh that they found on the battlefield in Afghanistan. Book him or let him walk.

#3 If you can make a case to a judge that he's dangerous enough to be held, I've got no problem with enemy combatant status. We're going to have cases where going the full criminal process/trial route would be somewhere between impractical and suicidal, but a hearing process with proper provisions about rules of evidence, secrecy and even presumption of innocence can be devised. I can't get behind the idea that DoD or Justice can make the declaration with no possible oversight from anybody.

#4 Gotta have something between release and hanging for treason. Seems like a compromise that all can 'live' with.
