#2 Wow! That's 179 pages of legalese for the Columbia Law Review. Too late this evening to scan over it and way out of my expertise to boot. Have fun folks.

#3 At first glance, it looks like a lesson in common sense.

No allegiance to the flag? No legal protection.

#4 Picked the link up from Belmont Club.
Civis Romanus Sum
Wretch has an excellent summary of the thesis.

The need to treat everyone identically will whatever its legal justification lead to some bizarre and even absurd situations. Its interesting to consider whether the necessity of convicting Khalid Sheik Mohammed will lead to developments which may have unfortunate consequences for the rights of citizens or fortunate consequences for the rights of terrorists. After all, if theyre both the same thing, then everyone gets mixed up in the same gravy. Making citizens equal to outlaws engaged in private warfare against America creates effects in both directions.

Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.
