Okay...on that post you pointed me to....you asked about any terroists on the domestic end...what should happen to them if caught...
Treat them like Padilla, oh wait, I forget what his status is now..it seems to change all the time..LOL
Seriesly..I say treat them as terrorists caught elsewhere...arrest them as enemy combatants...if they are American citizens..then they will have certain rights that non-citizens don't, but, I wouldn't punish them less hard.
BTW...as you have realized...I am totally ignorant of most thing "legal" in the sense of knowing the statutes and even the certain rights...I am trying to educate myself..
I appreciate your patience with me...I really do.
There is quite a range of "treatments," depending on where a person is caught, what was going on at the time, etc. There is a process that plays out in between "I think you might be a bad guy" and "sentencing." On the battlefield, the process might be brief, carry no words, and result in summary execution. At the other end of the spectrum, there is a trial with evidence being public, and a jury deciding the case. There are many possible variations in between, involving military tribunals, access to evidence (or not), ability to cross examine witnesses (or not), etc.
I don't have the answers either, but a simple "this surveillance is a-ok" without explaining how the evidence is USED is less than a complete picture.
