[QUOTE="vvvvvvv, post: 1629136, member: 5151"] The courts have taken the position that acts of war against the United States, regardless of citizenship, make one an enemy combatant. SJR23 broadly authorized military action (see bold). "[T]he President is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or [B]harbored such organizations or persons[/B], in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons." In my first post, I specifically stated that I disagree with it. If Yemen was so cooperative in providing intel as to his location, why were they not cooperative in apprehension? Perhaps we should ask what choices our government gave them. "Let's strike with precision munitions and deny his due process, or if he escapes again we'll consider your government has having aided an alleged terrorist and bomb the hell out of you." I admit my posts may have been hard to follow since I was focused on answering the question of whether or not the action was legal. [/QUOTE]
