<DIV>The executive branch doesn't wait for a decision to be made by a US Federal Court to hold a prisoner of war or a person of national security.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>To me a terrorist is someone who uses violence or threatens the use of violence, or someone who assists those, as a means of achieving a political or social goal, without the backing of an elected group of people or legitimate government. </DIV>
