The Raw Story | US residents in military brigs? Govt says its war

The Raw Story | US residents in military brigs? Govt says its war: "'What you assert is the power of the military to seize a person in the United States, including an American citizen, on suspicion of being an enemy combatant?' Judge William B. Traxler asked.
