Do you think that the executive declaring an American Citizen an enemy combatant, and taking him into custody and keeping him indefinitely with no oversight from any other branch of govt, or access to counsel or the outside world, is worriesome?

If you say no, then we are at odds.

It baffles me, that a man in a freaking cave in Pakistan has caused some people to throw the Constitution in the toilet.
