Just call him a suspected terrorist then he can be sent to Guantanamo, no

Yeah, and can you believe there are some a'holes that want to do away
with Gitmo??!!! I guess they want more due process and more rights for
the dirtbags that have openly declared war on us and society. Ya gotta
wonder what they're thinking or whose side they're on...

How about due process and rights for persons falsely accused
of being dirtbags who have openly declared war on us?

If you are an American citizen you will (and should) get the full
benefit of American due process. If you are an enemy of the state,
especially an illegal combatant; you do not (and should not) receive
the same benefits (and are not covered by the Geneva Conventions). I
hope Americans are smart enough not to try to hobble the whole system
by listening to the do gooders (or are they) who feel that all
terrorist and enemies deserve to be treated as if they are just another
domestic criminal.

And yes, unfortunately a few good people may get caught up in some kind
false identity or be unfairly accused but you can't castrate the whole
system to prevent this from happening to a few people. The system is
there to try to protect you from our enemies. If you are not an enemy,
you can be pretty confident that the government isn't out to lock you
up. Why would you think they are?
