Faizal acted as an enemy combatant and carried out an act of war against the US.
whats the point of having separate laws for the military and civilians if you can arbitrarily decide which one to apply?

how many true rightwing wingnuts do you think there are on these forums?
With some exceptions, too many "right wing" posters here seem inarticulate, ignorant, meanspirited and unable to embrace things broadly or thoughfully. It's a pity. In real life I have the opportunity to engage with erudite and astute people whose views and ideas are probably quite far along the spectrum from me in a rightward direction. There are only a handful of such people here offering the same level of stimulation.
Unfortunately, the "right" here is typified by the likes of yourself, zeeblebot, and peanutpicker41, Sartor Resartus, Hugh Glass, whodey, generalissimo, Phil3000, utherpendragon et al, and is thus woefully understrength as far as insight and common sense are concerned (this is not to say that the RHP left doesn't have its own feebleminded and boring headless chickens like scherzo and adam warlock).
But "true rightwing wingnuts" on these forums, as in set off bombs, boobytrap your front doorstep. out of my cold dead hand etc., I am not aware of any. Are you?

The fact that you put me alongside the likes of sartor resartus and peanutpicker in your little list clearly shows you really don't know what you're talking about.
I don't remember ever agreeing with those individuals (as a matter of fact I actually criticize them frequently), and yet here you imply we are the same type of people. Ludicrous.
