"I am especially anxious to hear what you think about enemy combatant treatment for native born US citizens."

Then see my post #49 and reflect upon how little criticism has been leveled at Democratic Party President FDR during WW2 for executing the American citizens who were brought back to the U.S. by German U-boats to conduct sabotage here.

Jose Padilla and today's concept of enemy combatant is closer to FDR's interment of all Japanese-Americans or Lincoln's arrest of political opponents (including newspaper editors that opined against the civil war). Yes you do not hear much criticism of either, one Democrat, one Republican, because they have been annointed as greatest presidents of their generation.

In Libertarian literature, there is plenty of criticism of both.

They had a prompt military tribunal once SCOTUS spoke on the matter. Bush proposes that he has the power to hold a citizen enemy combatant indefinitely without a tribunal. Significant difference.
