I can see the government taking the words ‘illegal enemy combatant’ and applying it to anyone who declares to be militia –a militia being an armed group of people willing to fight for a selective cause.

They have finally figured out that to have a peaceful society, the branches of this society have to be trimmed, sometimes to the very root, and they will become the pruning shears.
