No, we don't distinguish between our citizens. Hence my belief that someone
the Guardian calls "British based", whose brother is said to "live in London
too", who says "I make good money *there* (UK)...but these are my friends and
my family" is not British.
Certainly there are suspicions that British citizens fight for the Taliban.
But, the Guardian piece says, the last Western insurgent fighter successfully
captured by the US, way back in 2003, was John Walker Lindh.

What, you distinguish amongst your citizens? I thought that was forbidden.
Aren't they all British now, even though they might have been born in
Afghanistan, Pakistan or someplace else? Over here we are all Americans once
we become citizens -- where we were born is irrelevant. In my case my
ancestors were all from England and Scotland albeit many generations ago, and
while I am a loyal American now I would hate to see the homeland of my
ancestors reduced to full-fledged dhimmitude. LawrenceFrom:

He's an Afghani, Lawrence, that's why he said his frtiends and family are
there and -- he said -- that's why he's fighting there.
Happy Thansgiving
