Re: Enemy Belligerent Interrogation, Detention, and Prosecution Act of 2010

According to the bill's official summary,[7] the bill requires that any person who is arrested on suspicion of terrorism against the Unites States or its coalition partners be placed in military custody for the purposes of initial interrogation and determination of status as an "unprivileged enemy belligerent". Such determination is to be made within 48 hours.

The bill authorizes the President to establish a "high-value detainee interrogation group" consisting of executive branch personnel with expertise in national security, terrorism, intelligence, interrogation, or law enforcement to perform the interrogation and status determination.

As our definition of 'terrorism' seems to ever-broaden, the word "belligerent" ( apparently changed from the original "combatant" ) seems pretty broad too.
Agree, definitely one to keep an eye on
