"And none of those I referenced were captured on any battlefield."
First of all, you started talking about Jose Padilla. How can you, after September 11th 2001 not claim that an airport in the USA is not a battle field? You also referenced some chinese that are at Gitmo. The only people sent to Gitmo were picked up in Afghanistan or Iraq. Those are 2 more battle fields. I don't know about your story about the person who was dropped in Macedonia, but I would not be surprised if you are believing a story that is not on the up and up. There are a lot of people who want to believe that this WAR can be fought in a criminal court room or the court of public opinion and several have been proven liars.
Airports are battlefields? LOL. So is Ground Zero then, I suppose.

I think the reference is to Khaled Masri (aka El-Masri).
