6. Specifically at Guantanamo, or ALL enemy combatants?
I seem to recall the PATRIOT ACT was aimed at foreign terrorists, and yet provisions have been applied to take down small-time criminals.

I may be completely wrong here, and when I have more time (I'm in between classes) I'll look up the amendment, but I'm skeptical that the definition of enemy combatants is probably not narrow enough to keep this from being applied to American citizens in the name of security.
