Owners Comments: This Problem was caused by an Activist Supreme Court that can't seem to understand that Foreign Combatants do NOT have the same civil rights as American citizens. Another Reason we have to elect John McCain!

Do You Trust Barak Obama to pick your Doctor? If not vote John McCain for President!
