Enemy Combatants And Weird Indian Music

In case you haven't seen or read, a U.S. court has determined that the military can no longer hold this guy in detention on the main land without charging him with a crime. He's a Qatar citizen who got scooped up in post 9-11 operations and is being held in South Carolina. I couldn't help but notice that it appears he is sporting a mullet. I wonder if that was a current fashion in Qatari stock car/camel racing, or if that was something he picked up while being incarcerated in South Carolina? Also, it must be one of the first times in history that any kind of judge panel has agreed with someone called "enemy combatant." I suppose they have to change it to "guy who is screwed" or something.

Anyway, I couldn't help but think of the similarity between his picture, and the Indian Michael Jackson guy I saw a couple months ago. (I know, they don't look that similar, but this is just how my brain associates things.) I just noticed that the view count on this is now over 2.6 MILLION! I wonder if they knew they'd be such a Web 2.0 musical sensation?
