Fact: If you refer to yourself as a civilian then you are a non combatant.

...Unless the state deems you unlawful enemy combatant. Then secretly arrests, tortures and convicts you using evidence not made available to the defence.
They're just changing the laws as they go. The Bush administration retroactively changed laws to make the illegal things they were doing...legal. Then Obama campaigns to shut down Gitmo and then signs a law making preventative indefinite detainment legal. That's a joke.
Talk about the rule of law when the law isn't applied equally doesn't really hold much water IMO.
