Jaber Ismail, who was born in the United States, was questioned by the F.B.I. at the American Embassy in Islamabad, but his father, a naturalized United States citizen from Pakistan, declined to participate, Ms. Mass said. Jaber Ismail has refused further interrogation without a lawyer and has declined to take a polygraph test; Ms. Mass said the men were told these conditions had to be met before the authorities would consider letting them back into the United States.

WTF?!?! Conditions of reentry are polygraphs and interrogation without a lawyer present? No charges, of course, just step into the little room.
I take it back. This civil rights question doesn't seem difficult at all. Maybe for some, but not for me.
