They are also now calling the terrorists fighting the US militiamen.Does this mean that we need to salute them, offer them their choice of weapons or look for their "militiamen uniforms (?????)". We don't even know who the heck our enemy is in most cases - but the idiots call them MILITIAMEN! Wish these dolts had as much respect for our own troops.
I don't think this was posted.
Is this insane or what?

A day after being released from more than nine months of confinement, espionage suspect Ahmad I. Al Halabi returned to work Thursday as a supply clerk at Travis Air Force Base.
The airman faces restrictions on his movement and activities pending the outcome of his trial this year, and his lawyers expect to challenge at least some of them.

Al Halabi is accused of trying to smuggle classified material out of Guantánamo Bay to Syria, as well as lying to investigators. His lawyers say he is innocent and his planned trip to Syria was for his wedding.
Under orders from the base commander, Al Halabi is confined to the grounds of Travis and cannot enter restricted areas.
He had been held in confinement since his arrest July 23, 2003, but a military judge ruled Wednesday that he should be released pending trial.
While he awaits trial, Al Halabi, a 25-year-old naturalized citizen born in Syria, will live in a private dormitory room and work as a supply clerk for the 60th Aerial Port Squadron.
The Air Force said his
duties will involve ordering in-flight meals for aircraft passing through Travis, and he is expected to speak English at work. He will be allowed to speak Arabic at other times, such as when he speaks to his family by telephone.
