Uh, there is no judge or jury when dealing with unlawful enemy
combatants. They are not criminals. They do not get criminal trials.
They do not get the "rights" provided to criminal defendants.

If the president or his designee anoints someone as an unlawful enemy
combatant, they're toast.

That seems to be current procedure. My question is whether anointing or
branding someone UEC could possibly be misused to get rid of people the
"President" doesn't like. Seems to me that in a lawful state some kind
of due process should exist.

Reminds me of entering the US from Europe one time. My US passport had
been in my rear pocket and was just a bit crumpled. I mean indeed just
barely a bit crumpled. The nice INS person told me to get that fixed
because she would be justified in detaining me until someone could
ascertain my "true" status, seeing that the passport might have been
tampered with. I know there is no real due process when entering the US,
in the sense that it is up to you to prove that you are indeed who you
are and innocent.
