#1 One of those things that keep me laughing is how lefties argue that American laws extend into the territory of other sovereign nations but claim the non-Lefties are imperialists.

#2 Sees to me several judges need to be hauled up by the scruff of their necks and force-fed a course on the Constitution and the written, enforced laws of the United States. Seems to me I read that fighting as an enemy combattant in a foreign war zone was grounds for stripping one of their citizenship - whether they were fighting against the US and/or its allies or not. If he was captured as an unlawful combattant in Iraq, there can be no doubt he's not unlawfully being imprisoned, regardless of whether any other charges are being brought against him or not. Maybe I need to buy somebody an axehandle or two...
