Powell said the executive order signed in 1976 by President Gerald Ford forbidding assassination "is under review but all the executive orders signed by Bill Clinton that federalized almost all aspects of American life will stand as writen."

Though all U.S. presidents since Gerald Ford have signed an executive order prohibiting the CIA or other agencies from getting involved in political assassinations, there is agreement among some CIA and White House lawyers that the ban does not apply in time of war, the newspaper said.

Great! I'm all for it.

How do I know? After they are deported, they buy a fake passport off the black market and come back and tell us

You are admitting here on FR that you know terrorists who are illegally in the United States. And they feel comfortable with you to share their secrets.

Come back with another identity. This one is shot.

A supporter of terrorism with the audacity to post on FR. Did you get your sweets for 9/11? Shame at best.

The newspaper, quoting unidentified senior government officials, said Bush signed an order, known as an intelligence finding, that directed the CIA to undertake to sweeping and deadly covert action against bin Laden and his network.

Great -- The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight is loosed.

You admitted that you associate with illegals who may be terrorists.

I was not expecting you to so openly admit to supporting terrorist. Do you meet at your home. Does the FBI know?

Great! Now let us give the CIA a blank check on torture of terrorists. It's time we brought the CIA back to its bloody glory and let the FBI investigate criminals, not terrorists and waring nations.

(1)Deporting and or arresting all illegal alien immigrants and all individuals (mostly foriegners) in America linked to terror groups.

Great. How do you identify the illegal aliens?

(2)And rearming our pilots as they were before the evil 1968 gun Control Act was passed.

OK, but (a) it should be in the context of making cabin access MUCH harder (armored bulkhead, secured hatch, small drawer for passing food and drink, give the pilots their own bathroom) and (b) enough training to ensure proficiency.

The evil law was by crooked politicians over one mass shooting in Texas brought on by a shooter who was heavily on pychotropic drugs and under psychiatric care/experimentation when he commited his mass murders. And for 30 years the record was sealed and keep secret, while the FBI bold faced lied for over 30 years that on Aug. 1, 1966, sniper Charles Joseph Whitman was not on psychiatric or pschotropic mind altering drugs.

Do you have proof of this? I'd like to see it. IIRC, the 1968 Gun Control Act was in reaction to the 1968 wave of assassinations (RFK and Martin Luther King, Jr. being just the two most prominent)--Whitman, IIRC, was in 1964, not 1966.

Once the FBI and government was finally forced to release the record it was clear that Whitman was on pschotropic mind altering drugs and under psychiatric , as have most of the mass random shooters since 1966 that have been used to passed gun control.

Gee, someone under psychiatric care and prescribed medication doing something crazy. Never would even THINK that something like that would happen.

Was he actually ON his meds at the time, or had he reduced or stopped taking his medication? That is a frequent cause of serious trouble for those on psychotropic medication.

Welcome to the America that decided that the crazy person's "right" to be crazy out in public outweighed the right of everyone else to be safe and secure from aforesaid crazy lunatic by locking him up in the loony bin. Now I have to walk past stark evidence of the decline of Western Civilization just to get to work.

(3)Repealing the 1968 Gun Control Act

Mentioned this one already.

(4)Most importantly the solution is not passing any new anti-terror laws which violate our God given, Bill of Rights protected rights and freedoms as Americans! Giving up our rights only increases our chances of becoming victims of terror by enemies--foriegn and domestic enemies.

Fine polemics.

Let's deconstruct this one piece at a time.

As I recall, the ban on assassinations involved foreign leaders, not terrorists. People like Bin Laden have always been fair game.

The ban is on "assassination," it doesn't identify which targets are in or out of bounds.

Second, the FBI has been whisking aliens off the streets for the 20 years that I know of. These aliens were not allowed to contact anyone, had a secret trials with secret evidence.

Now, you make quite an explosive statement--but one that I happen to know to be true. Yes, there IS a court in DC that handles classified evidence. And, yes, many foreign nationals have been thrown out of the country based on such evidence. (Here's a hint: if the evidence itself is classified, that means it's Signals Intelligence or SIGINT--i.e., Osama bin Laden's satellite phone calls to and from the scumbag up for deportation.) It's generally agreed that the full panoply of Constitutional rights are limited to US CITIZENS, and that foreign nationals are granted very limited rights--there is no "right" for a foreign national to stay in this country.

How do I know? After they are deported, they buy a fake passport off the black market and come back and tell us what happened.

So, let me get this straight. You know foreign nationals who were deported for involvement in terrorist organizations. You know that they come back into this country with false passports. You know this because when they come back, they hang out with you and talk to you very freely. I'm with Sabramerican: you mind explaining your relationship to these people? Because you have just 'fessed up to knowing terrorists on a social basis. People who hang out with people whom they know to be scumbags tend to be of great interest to law enforcement.

I hope the phrase "terminate with extreme prejudice" was used.

How do you know this? I find it hard to believe that someone would tell a member of the media "I'm in this country with a phony passport".

Or do you know these folks personally?

He was taking large amounts of his psychotropic medication at the time.

Was he actually TAKING his prescribed meds at the time? Or did he "self-medicate?" Or did his doctor screw up the dosages (not particularly difficult to do, and VERY dangerous if the monitoring is lax)?

About ten years ago, I learned that a coworker of mine was paranoid schizophrenic when he decided he didn't need to keep taking his lithium carbonate (because he felt so much better). Man, THAT was an exciting night!
