Which is why I'll never live in Assachusetts.
I wish I had a choice.
So a US citizen is counted as a POW? Come on... Let's get a bit of perspective here... This is a very dangerous line that is being tread upon and our freedoms are being put in great danger by them. If you can't see that, I pity you.
I agree, that any non-US person should be treated as a POW in the current situation. HOWEVER, any action taken regarding a US citizen should be handled by a civil court under civil law including warrants for any actions taken. We are NOT in a declared state of war according to the Constitution at this moment so the Government does not have the right to suspend our rights for it's convienence.
Remember what Franklin said, "Those that would give up freedom for safety deserve neither."
