Fed. Appeals Court: "enemy combatant" jailings OK

[cjolley]

Surely the only time there would be any question about that would be if the "citizen" was captured on US soil.

Even that happend once during WW2.
He came back with a sabotage raiding party(in or around New York, I think)

Unless it's overturned by the US Supreme Court (not likely)....

Courts, the judges ruled, must be "highly deferential" to the government's prosecution of battle during wartime, even an unconventional war such as that against global terrorism. Hamdi, they added, is being held under "well-established laws and customs of war ... the fact that he is a citizen does not affect the legality of his detention as an enemy combatant."
