A new and interesting debate is taking place.
Does this guy rate protection as a US citizen or does he now become an enemy combatant?
If he acted in support of a group which has declared war on the US then its obvious to me that he is an enemy combatant. Its the same as renouncing his citizenship. Many have done it for tax purposes so why do we get tied in knots when we catch a person acting on behalf of others who we're at war with.
We simply declare that his actions amount to treason, strip him of his citizenship and act accordingly.
No new laws. No legal arguments, just simple declarations of facts which lead us to one undeniable conclusion. He is not protected by the rights given to all American citizens.
