16 Year Old Ashton Lundeby Declared an Enemy Combatant

WRAL-TV reported on April 29 that a 16 year old boy had been snatched from his home by the FBI under provisions of the Patriot Act. Paul Valone has a few more details in his article 'Patriot' games: FBI detains North Carolina teen. The trouble is, there are few details to be had. Apparently, he is being held incommunicado as an enemy combatant. As Valone says:

In what appears to be an abuse reflecting Patriot Act opponents’ fears, mother Annette Lundeby says her son has been stripped of due process...

We were assured that this would never be used to suspend the Constitutionally protected due process rights of United States citizens. Now it looks like anyone, anywhere, anytime can simply be called an enemy combatant and detained indefinitely.

Shout this abuse far and wide.
