Repost as OP: All this talk of "right to retaliate" and "insurgents" is just legalistic twaddle

40. I sure wished Bush had a Drone at TORA BORA

A Drone is but the weapon, An Air craft. Is it the weapon You are fighting against, or the fact the targets don't have due process?

Remember there is only one crime listed in U.S. Constitution - Article 3 Section 3: Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

When millions see it played out in public, in daylight, right before their eyes, I believe that takes care of the confession problem. Anyone take up arms against this country, don't expect a lawyer. A confessed traitor, encamped with the enemy.

I suppose I am more moderate than most people on the board. I believe the world is still dangerous. We haven't yet learned the language of Peace. Drones as horrible as they are, at least they are more precise, less Human loss. Drones instead of invasion, better than our children's life blood.

Weaponry of war evolves faster than we do, that is the horror of it. Drones are here to stay, its like protesting the Stealth Bomber.
