The Pentagon does an about-face.

By a "happy" coincidence Yaser Hamdi was born in South Carolina. Thereafter, he grew up in Saudia and fought against the U.S. as part of the Taliban. Still, if only by accident of birth, he is a U.S. citizen and it should not have taken two years for the military to let his attorney meet with him.

What do I hear you saying? I'm being too soft on the worm? Au contraire, mon frier. If he is a citizen entitled to the priviliges of our system he is also obligated under our laws:
U.S. Constitution: Article III

Section 3.

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.
