An historical note relating to drone strikes on U.S. soil:

“The saboteurs who came ashore on Long Island included two United States citizens who had convinced the Germans they had changed sides. One of them defected almost immediately and turned himself in to the FBI. All eight were arrested and tried before a military tirbunal, and sentenced to death. The six German nationals were executed in August 1942 (having come ashore in June of 1942). The two Americans were sentenced to what amounted to life imprisonment, later commuted to time served and deportation to the American Zone in occupied Germany. No one was executed without trial.”

Please note that 6 of them were German citizens.

Until we have an opposition party instead of those in charge of the republican party now, we stand no chance.

One also notes that they were deported from the US.
It should probably happen more. Never to set foot in
the continental US.
Wasn’t there a guy that was put aboard various US ships
never to set foot on US soil again? Revolutionary war?
War of 1812? If the ship was bound for the US he was
transfered off shore...I remember reading about it in
school, but that was a loooong time ago, when they taught
American History.
