If he doesn't live under the jurisdiction of a government (as I specifically stated in my hypothetical situation many times), who takes him and to what jail? Absence of any form of political authority is anarchy. If there is a place on the planet that has no governemnt (and there are such places) and a single man lives there completly alone, this is a real life example of anarchy. There is no authority. If you don't understand this, go start another thread about it and I'll explain it again. This thread is about whether or not the Bush administration broke the law.
Also Roachboy did not mean there are no terrorists when he referred to the war on terror as a war on ghosts. He meant that the war we are fighting is inproportionate to the threat by terrorism, and that people have exaggerated the threat terrorism poses.
