#1 Omar was indicted in Jordan with Zarqawi and 11 others

And we all know what 'business' Zarqawi was in in.

#2 Having the name 'Omar' seems to be a capital offense in much of Iraq.

#4 The judges also seemed wary of saying courts had no jurisdiction over a US citizen being held by his countrys military.

What the asinine judges are twisting in to a pretzel is that there is now one international law - US law, which extends beyond its borders into other "former" sovereign nations. Something along the lines that 'a Roman citizen is entitled to Roman law, no matter where he is'. Now talk about imperialism, there you go boys and girls. The hand wringing lefty crowd all concerned about evil America brings you all the trapping of Imperial Power. I guess just being the new aristocracy of America is not enough for our jurists. Now they covet power over the world. Power!!!

#5 Why is this even being debated in U.S. Courts? The Multi-national force should just hand him over to the Iraqis (The crime was comitted on Iraqi soil - where he is being held) and tell this panel to go f-k itself.

You are right - These self-appointed Lords of the Realm want imperial power too...

#7 If we let him go, it would be ironic. Uncle Sam would be protecting terrorists from being arrested and prosecuted by the countries in which they carried out terrorist strike. Sort of like what the Taliban did for al Qaeda all through the 90's and through 9/11.

#8 Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the taking up of arms against the US and fighting with a foreign power against the US an automatic renunciation of US citizenship?

#10 So exactly which uniform was he wearing when he was captured?

Omar was harboring insurgents and had bomb-making materials at the time of his arrest

Sorta obviates the need for any close examination of his apparel, eh Doc?
