You don't know a few? I know haters of all races, creatures.
Well my family is not racist and the people I work with in law enforcement do not speak of it if they are.
It will deal with the next batch of terrorists that it applies to. Here it is for anyone that's actually buying into these guys BS.
Section 948b of title 10 of the United States Code, as enacted by the Act, provides (in part):
[indent](a) Purpose.--This chapter establishes procedures governing the use of military commissions to try alien unlawful enemy combatants engaged in hostilities against the United States for violations of the law of war and other offenses triable by military commission.
[/indent]Section 948d of title 10 of the United States Code, as added by the Act, providing for the jurisdiction of military commissions, states (in part):
[indent]A military commission under this chapter shall have jurisdiction to try any offense made punishable by this chapter or the law of war when committed by an alien unlawful enemy combatant before, on, or after September 11, 2001.
[/indent]Section 948a of title 10 of the United States Code, as added by the Act, defines an "unlawful enemy combatant" as:
[indent]`(i) a person who has engaged in hostilities or who has purposefully and materially supported hostilities against the United States or its co-belligerents who is not a lawful enemy combatant (including a person who is part of the Taliban, al Qaeda, or associated forces); or
[/indent][indent]`(ii) a person who, before, on, or after the date of the enactment of the Military Commissions Act of 2006, has been determined to be an unlawful enemy combatant by a Combatant Status Review Tribunal or another competent tribunal established under the authority of the President or the Secretary of Defense.
[/indent]Section 948c of title 10 U.S.C., as added by the Act, states, "Any alien unlawful enemy combatant is subject to trial by military commission under this chapter" - with "alien" defined in section 948a(3) as "a person who is not a citizen of the United States".
A
"competent tribunal" is defined in the US Army field Manual, section 27-10, for the purpose of determining whether a person is or is not entitled to prisoner-of-war status and consists of a board of not less than three officers. It is also a term defined in Article five of the third
Geneva Convention. However, the rights guaranteed by the
Third Geneva Convention to
lawful military combatants are expressly denied to
unlawful military combatants for the purposes of this Act by Section 948b:
`(g) Geneva Conventions Not Establishing Source of Rights- No alien unlawful enemy combatant subject to trial by military commission under this chapter may invoke the Geneva Conventions as a source of rights.[4] [5]The criteria by which a Combatant Status Review Tribunal might determine someone to be an unlawful enemy combatant under section ii of the definition are provided by the
Detainee Treatment Act of 2005, and referenced in section 10 of the Military Commissions Act of 2006.
[6] The Combatant Status Review Tribunal is be composed of three neutral officers, none of whom was involved with the detainee. One serves as a judge advocate, and the senior ranking officer serves as the president of the tribunal. Detainees may testify before the tribunal, call witnesses and introduce any other evidence. Following the hearing the tribunal will determine in a closed-door session whether the detainee is properly held as an enemy combatant.
[7] The criteria by which "another competent tribunal" might do so are specified Detainee Treatment Act of 2005.
[8]If you read that little blurb it very specifically limits the people it can be applied to. It is not vague. I cannot be applied to an everyday citizen. All you have to do is read that to know. These people are trying to pull the wool over your eyes and protect the terrorists. That's the bottom line.
Knee-jerk replies where you don't know what you're talking about are more easily turned against you
but now you've got my interest. Name a law that was supposed to protect us but was turned against us.
