How would DU have reacted if Jed Bartlett was the real president and done this
Bartlett has a terrorist assassinated who was also an official in the government of Qumar.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdul_ibn_Shareef

Shareef is first mentioned in the third season episode "The Black Vera Wang." His fictional nation of Qumar is an ally of the United States and Shareef is supposed to help the US with intelligence in the Middle East. In attempting to stop a terrorist plot (later revealed to be an attempt to blow up the Golden Gate Bridge), Shareef does not help the US at all and is later shown to have been the mastermind behind the attempt.

1. without due process, we're right back in the Middle Ages
no matter how you want to spin it, it doesn't matter. If a government acts as judge, jury and executioner, there is no rule of law, no due process, no justice.
