In Guantánamo Case, U.S. Government Says It Can Indefinitely Detain Anyone — Even U.S. Citizens

MY COMMENT:

Moath Hamza Ahmed al Alwi, a 41 or 42 year old Yemeni, held at the US military detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, is too dangerous to release. In his 13 page "Guantanamo Docket," (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/projects/guantanamo/detainees/28-moath-hamza-ahmed-al-alwi) published by the New York Times after it appeared on a wikileaks website, details the "why's" and "wherefore's" of his detention. At the very least, al Alwi is a highly trained member of al Qaeda and former body guard of Usamma bin Laden (UBL), who bore arms against the United States in the conflict in Afghanistan following the attacks of September 11, 2001. In the eyes of the Supreme Court of the United States, al Alwi is an "enemy combatant, " and therefore not entitled to the protections of the Gneva Conventions, Law of Land Warfare or the Constitution of the United States, and his detention may continue, without due process, until at least hostilities end in the Global War on Terror. The Court commented that even if al Alwi were an American citizen, the US would still have the right to hold him as an [unlawful] enemy combatant.

I concur.
