In the past the lie has been to pretend that we are talking about American citizens when in reality we are talking about foreigners for one.

That is not entirely true - the President now has the power to order the assassination of US Citizens outside the US, at his whim, a power he has already exercised. Persons subject to the Constitution have already been detained without council for "suspicion" and removed to Guantanamo.

Just because Paul has some views which are deplorable does not mean that his opinion here is as well - furthermore, he is not the first in line with his criticism of this - we have been discussing this issue for several weeks here ...

The language contained in this law is vague to the point that it can and will be abused. You can't seriously trust the government to govern itself and respect the Constitution do you? What agency do you work for?
