Speaking of Daesh, the latest suspects of wanting of join that group have come up with a novel defense.

Five Twin Cities men accused of plotting to go to fight alongside ISIL in Syria are asking a federal judge to drop murder conspiracy charges on grounds that they have “combatant immunity” under both common and international law.

They say combatants are immune from criminal prosecutions for acts of war, including murder, against military targets.

Quite frankly, I wish we wouldn’t blow our resources arresting these idiots-I’d say if they came over as refugees and obtained US citizenship and they left the US to fight, and we find them later on the battlefield, they lose their citizenship.
