“That is because our system is a game of lawyers ,and what is legal has little in common with what is just.”
Not that I stand terrorists, but punishing family members for the crimes of a member of the family fall under a forbidden “Bill of Attainder/Corruption of Blood” specifically forbidden by Article I, Section 10 of the US Constitution.
Punishing family members was a common British practice at the time.
Sorry to throw cold water on the fun, but in this rare case, the lawyers have it right.
Well that IS what I was getting at: the terrorists ARE supported in the terrorist acts by their families and it is JUST that their families pay,but it is not LEGAL in the U.S.
Other nations have different rules.
