Lets see if this clears things up for the "Strickt Constitutionalist....

1). The detainees at GITMO are being held as Battlefield Combatants = Combatants with no definable uniform

2). Traitor = An individual who betrays his country by aiding and supporting its enemies.

3). POW = A captured identifiable enemy soldier that accepts and is covered by the Geneva Convention.

Does that clear up any grey areas for you?

Alright, so what about this "radiological bomb" guy, Padillo or whatever he thinks his name is?

I'd actually like to see him considered as an Enemy Combatant, shoot-first-and-ask-questions-later... but under your definitions....?

What's our protocol? Do we have one? Any?

I suspect that, if anything, he's being questioned with greater regard for his "rights" than he is due.
