So we've finally got the ability to indefinitely detain "enemy combatants" as long as they are held in a "war zone". Sounds like those terrorists won't want to mess with us anymore now that we've got those pesky laws out of the way.

Just a forewarning, but I know of a poster on this site that is a member of the administrations "Council of Strategic Internet Terroist Threat Investigative Task Force." So any defeatist statements of any kind of in this thread could be grounds for labeling you an "enemy combatant" by the CSITTITF and thus complete negation of your civil rights. You have been warned, bitches.

lol. Words and terms that could have MANY different meanings. After all, we are 'at war' so perhaps we are currently in a 'war zone'.

srsly. if i were of arab decent in this country id be trippin out that a drunk driver might hit me and somehow im being tortured for being a terrorist after he claims he saw one of my buddies run from the scene with a bomb. extreme example, perhaps, but its scary to know its not that far-fetched.
