re: Justice doesn't end at our borders, but I do think we should limit the use of our already overburdened judicial system. Non-citizen enemy combatants should not be using our courts.

Then there is no check on the executive branch. They could take and hold any non-citizen as an enemy combatant (Taro for example) indefinitely.

re: As far as Jose, he should be accorded EVERY privelege that every American is afforded under our constitution, because he is a citizen.

Hasn't. Is what the Bush admin has been doing wrt Padilla illegal?

I agree. Its hardly practical to require full court hearings on people captured in the course of waging a war. Its not like we put captured enemies through an extensive trial system (or for the most part through any trial system) when they where captured in any of our previous wars.
