In May2002, our government "captured" a US citizen named Jose Padilla on US soil and tried to hold him as an "enemy combatant"! Jebus, what the hell happened to habeas corpus and all those other wonderful goodies that the constitution is supposed to tell the government not to fuck with? Of course recent news has it that the courts have told the Feds to slurp shit and die, but the guy they "captured" is still rotting in a military base somewhere until the Feds decide they're tired of him and let the civilian courts do what they’re supposed to. Of course the guy they “captured” is accused of conspiring to build a dirty bomb (and, I suppose, detonate it somewhere) and he could be tried in civilian courts for anything up to treason and other really bad things so he isn’t going anywhere soon.
