[QUOTE="vvvvvvv, post: 1628478, member: 5151"] The precedent didn't start this week, nor did it start 10 years ago. Some would say it started 150 years ago, but that's not right either. The precedent has existed since the founding of this country. Any person taking up arms against this country has been considered an enemy combatant. The only real question right now is a question of international law - was he taken on a recognized battlefield? In the view of the Congress and President who enacted the 2001 AUMF, the entire world is a battlefield. But the international view is quite different. Perhaps the international view should be considered (rather than the unilateral American view) to determine whether or not he was taken in his capacity as an enemy combatant. [/QUOTE]
