I dont think there is a need for a seperation. I think a US citizen can still be an enemy combatant. Once convicted, if they are convicted then their citizenship is revolked.
Main Entry: en·e·my
Pronunciation: 'e-n&-mE
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural -mies
Etymology: Middle English enemi, from Old French, from Latin inimicus, from in- 1in- + amicus friend -- more at AMIABLE
1 : one that is antagonistic to another; especially : one seeking to injure, overthrow, or confound an opponent
2 : something harmful or deadly
3 a : a military adversary b : a hostile unit or force
As I said above, citizenship does not guarantee loyalty to the country in which one is a citizen. If a person's loyalty lies with the enemy then they are the enemy.
