Not surprisingly, my rather harsh criticism of the Graham bill

Broadly speaking, § 2256(a)(6)(C) covers the 19 hijackers on 9/10. That is, anyone who was engaged in planning, training, and preparing for an attack on the US but who has not as yet actually engaged in an attack. In an IAC, everyone in the enemy army who might subsequently become involved in combat is a belligerent/combatant even if they have not as yet been part of any battle. There is a corresponding category in a NIAC of people who have been engaged in continuous combat function that has not as yet led to an open attack.
