As far as I'm concerned as soon as anyone, citizen or not, takes up arms or plots with terrorists against this country - they lose any "civil" rights they have as a citizen.

What event would have to have happened in order for you to know who the person is that you feel is not deserving of his civil rights? Would his name and picture merely need to appear in a newspaper for you to conclude he is not deserving of his civil rights? Or would the government have to report to you that they suspected him of wrong doings in order for you to conclude he is not deserving of his civil rights.

This nation’s Constitution secured for all people a process that mankind fought and died for over the centuries; it is called due process. Does your lack of confidence in the nations Constitution cause you to conclude that it is too weak to deal with the current problems. Consider all the ramifications of what you suggest because when you speak to remove one citizen's right to due process you remove all citizen's right.

Moses, Right on the mark, As I said on an earlier thread, The amount of people on these threads lately have the notion "If you support the Constitution, YOU are with the Terrorist". It's a sad day indeed that this is the case! I expect that these same people will justify the "Police state" and want you under the microscope because after all "you must have something to hide".

Its beginning to be the case that one needs a barfbag to read anything anymore.
