johncomic: (Denis Leary)
[at least as I understand it]:

an "unlawful enemy combatant" is now defined as "anyone that the President or designated sections of the government says is an unlawful enemy combatant". There's nothing about needing proof, or even needing a reason, to say so.

And once they say you are a UEC, they can lock you up without charge and without trial, as long as they feel like. This applies to US citizens at home, it applies to foreign citizens in their own nation [as long as there happens to be CIA agents around with a secret prison nearby].


Please correct me where I've gotten it wrong, I hate being misinformed.

PS: please also allow me to refer you here for a more eloquent rant on the same topic...
