The point is that Israeli citizens and nationals can be held without trial indefinitely in Israel. That is not something we have to worry about here to the same extent.
- Samuel_Michon 13y agoSure, maybe not to the same extent, but as long as the definition of an ‘enemy combatant’ remains unclear, American citizens can be arrested and held without formal charges or trial.
- einhverfr 13y agoThus far the government has shown that they are unwilling to let the Supreme Court review that regarding citizens. They would rather go to trial than let a question (where the individual was captured far from combat zones) go before the Supreme Court. We should remember what Bush asked the 4th Circuit to do when Padilla petitioned to the Supreme Court for the second time.... Fortunately the court would have none of these games.
