"you have to plan or execute violent acts to destabilize Iraq for it to apply to you."

You mean that's not a consitutional right?

Says who? You? Show me where in the executive order it says that is the only case where this may apply. As I said, it is too broad and dangerous.

As to your other nonsense about Habeas Corpus, read up on the case of Ali Saleh Kahlah al-Marri, a legal resident of the United States who is held without charges. Five years later, on June 11, 2007, in al-Marri v. Wright, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Military Commissions Act doesn't deny al-Marri his constitutional rights to challenge his accusers. The court ruled that al-Marri must be released from military detention to either be freed or to be placed in US civilian detention where the federal government would have to charge him with crimes. But it should not have had to come to that.
