Indeed, recognizing things as they are, you speak truth.
Looking at things as they should be, something else troubles me. Observing FReeper posts in general (not yours), it seems that many conservatives have the misconceptions that the Constitution does not apply to foreigners in the US, and that it does apply to Americans anywhere in the world.
Silliest thing I ever heard.
Please cite any documented applications of Constitutional rights, or even discussion about it, against foregn combatants in, say, the War of 1812.
Please take your time and don't change the subject.
