We don't give due-process to enemy combatants. The courts have ruled on this in the past and agree with me. Just imagine giving some German soldiers captured in combat the "right" to an attorney! That is what you are basically asking us to do.
If some US citizen is bringing drugs into our nation, at a time of war, they are aiding and abetting the enemy, the drug-lords. They at that point become traitors to the nation and there is but one penalty for treason.
Believe me, the war on drugs and if we win or lose it, and attacking it in a "due-process" manner like you and the ACLU advocate, is far more important than the important war on terrorism.
They have also ruled that citizens who smuggle drugs are entitled to due process. By your criterion, I win this debate.
wait wait wait...
smuggling drugs is eqivalent to treason for you?
sheesh, I hope I dont jaywalk!!!
Seriously though, what John Kerry did was treason. What Aldrich Ames did was treason. Whatever smuggling these idiots are doing is certainly a crime, but it isnt treason.
