Silence is acquiescence and agreement. McCain deliberately refused to answer the simple question of does this include American citizensnot once but twice. Him not answering just answered the question.

In Hamdi v. Rumsfeld, 542 U.S. 507 (2004), the Supreme Court reaffirmed the right of United States citizens to seek writs of habeas corpus even when declared enemy combatants. Now I see why they changed the term to enemy belligerents.

Overall, this bill seeks to create a new category of prisoner / detainee called the Unprivileged Enemy Belligerent and this bill specifically states that it can include American citizens. The bills main points revolve around the creation of an inter-agency Executive Branch Interrogation Team whose criteria for selection is up to the President. Furthermore, the interrogation team can be anyone who has an intelligence, law enforcement or military background and is based upon what type of information they want to learn from the detainee.

This means the NSA, CIA, FBI, Military, DEA or even city and state police officers may be a part of the team. This also allows for private contractors to be included on the interrogation team as the bill does not stipulate that the interrogators must be sworn officers or soldiers.
This is a scary situation. The President can call upon interrogators who have never taken or sworn an oath to uphold the Constitution to interrogate American citizens.
