After study and review, as well as being familiar with the Supreme Court Decision in Rumsfeld v. Hamdi, where the Supremes ruled that EVERY American is entitled to habeas corpus and review of detainment; that Section 1022, and the phrase which states in part:
b) Applicability to United States Citizens and Lawful Resident Aliens-
(1) UNITED STATES CITIZENS- The requirement to detain a person in military custody under this section does not extend to citizens of the United States.
(1) UNITED STATES CITIZENS- The requirement to detain a person in military custody under this section does not extend to citizens of the United States.
I believe that no American can be detained without a Court's review, whether he has been caught on the battlefield, or in downtown Tampa. This obviously does not apply to foreign enemy combatants, and I for one agree that it should not apply to enemy combatants who are not American.

Many Americans don't understand the relationship between local, state,
federal, and military authority.
If thinking that our authorities should have all the resources they
need to combat terrorism makes me a moonbat then keep calling me a
moonbat.
