amazing that you people think Bush is an idiot, when you are nothing more than a mindless, reactionary turd incapable of independent thought or rational analysis.

The text of the law states that it's "Purpose" is to "establish procedures governing the use of military commissions to try alien unlawful enemy combatants engaged in hostilities against the United States for violations of the law of war and other offenses triable by military commission."
Any Court interpreting this law should observe the word "alien." and therefor not apply this law to a U.S. citizen.
This law would also be unconstitutional, in violation of the Fifth Amendment, if applied to a citizen. However, the Fifth Amendment does not apply to aliens. See Johnson v. Eisentrager, 339 U.S. 763, 784.
