To be clearer, this isn't just about president Obama, it gives the "executive branch" of government unprecedented arbitrary and discretionary powers to indefinitely detain individuals based on any national security threats.. Real or fabricated, despite any claims of innocence, or affirming ruling of innocence.
These cases will be determined on an individual basis, reviewed by a number of government officials (periodically) in the military, the intelligence community, and the executive branch acting on these recommendations the president can order the continued and indefinite detainment of ANYONE... No matter who that president is.

They are covered by the Geneva Convention and by the very fact that they are not UNIFORMED Combatants they have none of the protections of the Geneva Convention.
This is completely untrue and easily demonstrable as such.

because it is perfectly legal under the Geneva Convention to execute them on sight.
Nonsense. Being a national is not a requirement for being a privileged combatant. Foreign volunteers are permissible under the laws of war.

Another thing that makes them UNLAWFUL enemy combatants is the fact that most of them aren't even from Afghanistan.
