My question in Padilla was as follows.
Was he arrested as a combatant (I.E. arrested in a war zone)?
Or was he arrested doing day to day things because someone just name-dropped him?
Those two things differ greatly. If he was arrested under combat conditions IMO he forfits his rights (never have PoWs been given trials to see why they were fighting against us). If he was arrested for the second then yes he deserves a trial.
