I am not defending the document that the Obama Administration is foisting. It is a travesty for the reasons that you cite. For over one hundred years, The United States has waged war, both declared and undeclared against our enemies. We have a considerable body of law and precedent to rely upon when deciding who is an enemy combatant. Our dead parrot qualified on numerous counts had the idiots in the White House chosen to do what we have done for many years. It’s the Administration that wants to pretend that we are not at war with Islam, otherwise they would not have to craft this pile of nonsense.
The rationale that they have put forward is a danger to ordinary citizens, especially in the hands of a regime so willing to commit illegal acts in pursuit of their political goals.
Understood and agreed. Evil, in all its various forms is the true enemy and there are very few things that approach Islamic terrorism in that regard. Like you, I’m uncomfortable with this kind of power in the wrong hands. I don’t believe the police and the courts are equipped to deal with these vermin either.
