Hi Alex,

I'll have to leave the religion response to Melinda, but I can answer the "war crimes against US citizens" question.

With the passage of the 2006 Military Commissions Act, Americans no longer have the 'legal' right of habeas corpus. See this article on "How to Survive Disappearing" for the ugly realities of our day and for further clarification on how the military can now commit war crimes on US citizens do some research on Maher Arar, as the 'authorities' can now legally do to you what they did to him.

Make sure you vote,

MJ
