Unfortunately, you like so many others are falling victim to the false propaganda of the “Progressive” lawyers, and Ron Paul's misguided and inept understanding of these matters. In fact, if he had the power to implement what he is demanding, immediate trial rather than indefinite detention during the belligerency, he would be committing a violation of the law of armed conflict and a war crime. By supporting this ill informed demand of Ron Paul, you too would be advocating the commission of war crimes. Before you go on, you and the other participants in this discussion need to step back long enough to discover why it would be wrongful and a war crime to do as Ron Paul and the complaining attorneys are demanding. You also need to learn and understand why it would be harmful to our own prisoners of war and the very civilians your are misguided into believing your are trying to protect.

The words I hear coming out of Ron Paul's mouth, and the words people like you want us to believe are coming out of Paul's mouth are two different things. I believe my ears, not your interpretations. You hate Ron Paul, pure and simple. Ron Paul has made it clear that the U.S. should not attack a country unless it is attacked. This seems reasonable to some, including me. Let Europe, Japan, Korea and the Middle Eastern countries carry their own defense. They collectively squandered the good will of the US protections to build their socialist/welfare states instead of providing for their own defense, and I am pretty fed up with it too.

I am no fan of radical Islam, but American citizens have Constitutional rights provided by the 4th, 5th and 6th Amendments to a trial by jury, expectation of probable cause and protections from unlawful searches and seizure - I don't see Obama's right to unilateral judge and execute anyone he deems is a Terrorist anywhere in the U.S. Constitution. Do you?
