(1,372 posts)So people say that an American citizen is entitled to due process.
The problem is he/she is in a foreign country.
There is proof they are working with terrorist factions.
If they are hanging around with terrorists then....
they are either an undercover news reporter
or they are a terrorist.
The OP says, "without even charging them with a crime, notifying them of the accusations, or affording them an opportunity to respond"
Now anyobne who grew up in the 60's and did dope, knows
when they are under surveliance, knows when things are getting hot and knows that they are hanging around with people who
will raise the suspicion that you are doing something against the law.
Here is a guy who has his picture on TV in the U.S. and is
hiding out with AQ sympathizers. I don't think the guy has
any doubt that the U.S./CIA is gunning for his ass. If he is
falsely accused then don't you think he would write a letter
and say that he is being falsely accused.
Alternatively, if you saw a freinds picture on TV saying he was
a big terrorist wouldn't you call someone and say they were making a mistake?
I really don't think that the CIA is going to go around and assasinate someone just because of a personal grudge.
My apologies to the constitutionalists in the room but I think
we need to draw a line and separate American citizens from terrorists. IMHO
