The Constitution is not just a trivial document that doesn't consider such "modern" infamies like terrorsm.
Ron Paul Rules.

As long as the letters of marque and reprisal are conditioned on not interfering with ongoing US operations, this is a fine idea.

Air piracy? Good deal! I can use this as an excuse to act against the ChiComs then?
To: wideawake
Yes, now we're getting somewhere.
This is the sort procedure the "crown"{Bush ancestors, look it up} used to deal with pirates back in the day.

Well, as we all know, any Congressman can introduce anything he wants. Whether it gets passed by the House, the Senate, and overcomes a presidential veto is another matter.
What is the point of such grand-standing?

That's MY congress critter folks. Wait till he authors a bill to seize ALL assets of ANY nation supporting terroists to pay for this war.
Write your congress critters. Demand that all non citizen Muslims be deported NOW. This will make the FBI's job easier in watching the remaining ones. They (the 'citizen' Moslems) may have to go too however.
If my 'culturist' sentiments bother you .... ask yourself this: "Was that fat lady leafing through the Natl. Enquirer in the line in front of me today sending anthrax spoors into the air around me?"
All the terrs had to do was infiltrate the infrastructure of The Sun and dump anthrax spoors into ONE press run.

There were a few discussions about pirates going on at FR about a week after the attacks. If anyone knows where those are or who might have been talking about the similarities of piracy remedies, please bump them.

I hope that hackers realize what this would mean. They could engage in their hobby for fun and profit! (Who says you need a ship to go privateering?!)

Modern day parities.. WOW
I can not see it passing. Sounds good though.
To: Demidog
I don't get it. First, Ron Paul blames the WTC attack on our interventionist foreign policy.
Now he wants to authorize American citizens to play Rambo in foreign countries.
I'm beginning to really wonder about this guy.

Sounds like a grandstanding amateur to me.
To: Precisian
"What is the point of such grand-standing?" A quick clarification, if I may:
When people like Bill Clinton and Jesse Jackson contort and revise their "principles" if doing so affords them opportunities to keep themselves in the public eye, it's grandstanding.
When Ron Paul, who has been an aggressive champion of the Constitution, personal liberty, and the Rule of Law acts (as he has thousands of times over the years) on his beliefs, it's being principled.

I think it's helpful. The more people the terrorists have after them, the better. The police have jobs to do beside tracking down bail jumpers, so bounty hunters come in handy.
Same for terrorists. A bounty hunter who lives for the chase is willing to cross from jurisdiction to jurisdiction to track someone down. Quite routinely bounty hunters will go to Mexico to grab someone who jumped bail in California or Texas. They're more efficient than cops, who would have to notify local Mexican authorities, argue extradition, etc. Red tape dissolves when privateers are around.
