We can torture them to get the technology for the EV1 electric car that was bought and hidden. We can force them to tell us how much oil there really is, how many years it will likely last, plans for energy independence and how much they really are investing in alternative energy sources. We might also fing out how much the auto industry with the oil corporations have conspired against innovation, fuel efficiency and pollution regulations. Maybe we can make this bad situation good for everyone?

We are giving corporations personhood. Maybe this means we can torture, and indefinitely incarcerate corporations because someone accused them of aiding an enemy. If corporations get to have "human status" then they should get the good with the bad, not just picking and choosing. I'd like to be the first in line to accuse the oil companies of aiding directly or indirectly enemies.

This seems to break the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th amendments to the Constitution and possibly the 4th too (because no where in these rights does it say that they only apply to US citizens) as well as the war powers.
