Six degrees of intimidation

Have family that lives outside the country? Hope and pray they never gave any money to any group with even the remotest of ties to any terrorist organization, whether they knew it or not. Cause America is comin' for them:

Under detailed questioning by a federal judge, government lawyers asserted yesterday that the U.S. military can hold foreigners indefinitely as enemy combatants at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, even if they aided terrorists unintentionally and never fought the United States.

Could a "little old lady in Switzerland" who sent a check to an orphanage in Afghanistan be taken into custody if unbeknownst to her, some of her donation was passed to al-Qaida terrorists? asked U.S. District Judge Joyce Hens Green.

"She could," replied Deputy Associate Attorney General Brian Boyle. "Someone's intention is clearly not a factor that would disable detention." It would be up to a new military review panel to decide whether to believe her and release her.

That's right, we're going after grandma because she thought she was helping children around the world.

May she rot in jail for the rest of her life because of it.
