http://www.commondreams.org/headlines02/1108-05.htm no one is safe anymore, sure he's a terrorist and an enemy of the state, but bomb him from the sky just like that when he's carrying the american passport??!
wow, you're right, i thought America killing Americans is a new development.. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! well those terrorists blow up civilians who pal around with american soldiers who raid their countries. besides, even if he was a terrorist, he carries the american ID, he is considered an american citizen, isn't there a word called "trial" in the dictionary somewhere? this is absolutely unacceptable, and frightening, no clarification or interrogation and no crap, just a missile from the sky.
if its illegal to kill American terrorists, then it makes sense that they would recruit heavily from here. You can kill a terrorist, just as long as its not an American...right?
Once again, you are way behind the curve. This topic has already been talked to death here - there's *nothing* to be gained by going through it again. :shrug:
you've got a point, but the status of "terrorist" is not as easy to make as black and white. when they're forigners, especially from the middle east and are muslims, at the first sign kill them to be sure, at the first sign of the first sign harass them at airports and keep ban them from getting into the US. this is of course hardly legal and comes without legal persecution, but because of the superiority of the US and leaders of other countries in the ME care more about the money they get from selling their resources to the US, don't step in or care. but when it's an american i think he's entitled for more than what others are, he should be treated more like a human,his rights should be violated less, he should see a trial before he is sentenced to death, a judge or whatever should announce him guilty of treason or something like a civilized community does and then sentence him to death... ... but bomb him with a drone out of the blue, and then say he was a terrorist, without giving him a chance to defend himself? what if the CIA is abusing its powers? i've looked for such threads and couldn't find them, please share.
I don't remember the statistics of the number of people shot and killed in New York each day, so Americans killing Americans doesn't seem that new or novel. The difference in how people feel about it seems to be in their job description. Supporting article
That wiki article says that, in the year 2007: So a majority of gun fatalities were do-in-yourselfers...Hmmm. Well other than making me wonder whether owning a gun should make me feel safer... So over 31 K deaths due to firearms total. According to this page :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_motor_vehicle_deaths_in_U.S._by_year Cars killed 41,059 people in the US in 2007. I feel very safe in my car-I am driving a 3000-pound missile. I can kill you! I have a better chance of hitting you and killing you with my car than my ancient S&W .38 with the pull from hell. People who talk about "car free zones," are looked at like loons...People don't think "Ohmygod he's got a CAR!!!!!!" Just saying... I think this guy...we could have arrested him, we ought to have. I think we generally should prefer arrest over execution, regardless.
Yes it is. If you are a member of Al Qaeda then by definition you are a terrorist. Total BS Nope. See first definition. You have that backwards of course. Except no evidence that they were
Setting apart the fellow was aiming for the death of American citizens and aiding and abetting a terrorist agency... Why do you consider Americans deserving more rights and non Americans?
Nothing special here. Americans have killed other Americans in violent conflict before, in a little incident called the American Civil War. Perhaps the gainsayers have heard of it. And why should Americans be "entitled for more than what others are"?
if paling around with terrorists makes you a terrorist, then paling around with invaders makes you an invader, what's so hard to understand about that? i wonder how i missed that one, lucysnow did a very good job on that thread, i'll take anything i have to say there, thanks for the link.
Its kinda like what happens police when they shoot and kill for example a bank robber...c'est domage mon ami! Things happen! Its not the best example but the best one I can think of
