#2 Actually I'm kinda disappointed. When I saw the headline I was hoping to read about Mikey Moore, Ted Rall, Jim McDermott, ~~Prick in a Turban~~ Dick Durbin and Dan Rather.

#3 Just more "proof" for the Vlad-babe and the Russians that America is behind BESLAN, CHECHYNA, and the WOT, etc. BTW, the Russians are reportedly offerring to arm Iranian submarines with missles- enjoy!?

#4 Three have dual Iraqi citizenship, one dual Iranian citizenship and a fifth man, arrested late last year in Iraq, dual Jordanian citizenship.

#5 The American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California said it had filed a writ of habeas corpus...

So what if the Theater Commander says buzz off cause you have no authority in an operational foreign combat zone? Want to see how stupid a judge can be? Want a 'Jacksonian' moment?

#7 Agreed, Sharon! And like HS7791 said, the ACLU has no "standing" in a foreign arena. However, that didn't keep the atheist from suing over the National Anthem for his daughter. This might get play out in California, I'm afraid.

#8 Taking up arms against the United States forfeits US citizenship.

No more "dual" for them now.

#9 Taking up arms against the United States forfeits US citizenship

Not sure of that. More like, dual citizenship doesn't prevent this from being treason.
