Obysmal’s White Paper plays it fast and loose with the terminology “imminent danger” when identifying these US-citizen enemy combatants.

Take some time to read the linked post, please.

A genuinely thoughtful piece by Andy McCarthy explores the issue of targeted killings of enemies in assymmetrical warfare and the flaws (and hypocrisy) in the WH “White Paper,” papering over its decisions. McCarthy concludes with a sensible solution in our open-ended state of seige with jihadists and Islamists.

A commenter after the piece, Jack Jolis, describes the difficulties of getting worthy intelligence from captured combatants because of the current “rules of war.”

Death penalty: Bad

Killing citizens without trial: good

The mind boggles.

Don’t let these lunatics kid you … they’ll torture anyone if they think they need to, they’ll just hide it and lie about it. The liberal media will defend them anyway just like they’re defending killing American citizens.

While torture is never, under any circumstances, permitted by law

These people seriously need a lesson on torture. Torture Torture Not Torture

Don’t torture the poor SOB, just FRY him. We don’t need no information from him about future attacks. Jeez, the progs can be absolutely illogical, and still defend this lunatic policy.

These people are idiots.

If torture is bad, but killing is good, just torture until you kill. That should make liberals happy.
