I'm really surprised the lawyers haven't latched onto the fact that we are calling this a war, and yet it really isn't a war because Congress hasn't declared a war.
He hasn't been charged.

If he isn't charged, the government can't be "wrong" for not being at war.

This is a US citizen being held, without recourse, without a charge, without anything.

We'd expect this in totalitarian societies.

And I completely approve of this!

Go Big Brother!

I (heart) the Stazi!
