Media Covers For Bush AGAIN: Only 115 total "Enemy Combatant" stories
Looking through google news over the last two days, there are only 115 total stories that include the term "enemy combatant":

http://news.google.com/news?svnum=10&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&tab=wn&as_drrb=b&as_minm=9&as_mind=27&as_maxm=9&as_maxd=28&q=%22enemy+combatant%22

Even worse, many of these stories gloss over or misrepresent the indisputable, obvious and incredibly alarming fact that any American citizen can be deemed an enemy combatant on the whim of our now legislatively enshrined totalitarian dictator.

Only a handful of articles, most of them opinion pieces, make it clear that the 6th and the 7th amendments and the very basis of common law is at stake here.
