New facts keep coming out about the torture bill. The newest is that it expands the definition of who the White House can consider an enemy combatant. They are now anyone who “has engaged in hostilities or who has purposefully and materially supported hostilities against the United States.” This language does not rule out American citizens from being labeled as enemy combatants and being shipped off to Guantanamo Bay. Obviously, that is not a good thing. And by specifying those who “supported hostilities” in addition to to those engaged in hostilities, it opens the door to detaining people who have never been anywhere near a battlefield. We are legislating a system where legal US citizens can be held indefinitely with no way to challenge the evidence against them. Gulity until proven innocent. Republican Senator Arlen Spector feels that the bill goes too far and is an unconstitutional suspension of habeus corpus. Of course, to get a ruling it would have to be challenged in court, which is prohibited.
