You're not familiar with al Qaeda dirty bomb suspect Jose Padilla? See, like al Qaeda member John Walker Lindh, he's a US citizen. Padilla is accused of actively plotting to set off a dirty bomb in a US city. He was arrested in Chicago. He's now sitting in a brig, perhaps in South Carolina, but that's not confirmed. He's probably going to face a military tribunal for being an enemy combatant--and he's alleged to be a REAL enemy combatant.

However, thanks for sharing your Final Solution.

In that case he gets tried for treason and (if found guilty) executed under the law. A non-citizen is killed during the course of battle. Subtle but important difference
