“Let's also be clear on what we are talking about. People who have been defined as enemy combatants are not always holding a weapon. You can have a propagandist. We have had propagandists who have been killed overseas who were propagandists for the enemy. So it is conceivable that an American citizen could be exchanging information and saying something derogatory about us or something in favor of the enemy, and that could be considered to be--that person is now a propagandist. My point is, shouldn't they have a day in court to determine the facts and have representation as opposed to being plucked up and saying: You are going to Guantanamo Bay for the rest of your life because you made some criticism, and now the state has deemed you an enemy.”
