“No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed.”
In the time honored tradition of classic despots, Hussein is unconstitutionally attainting American citizens.
The Bill of Attainder prohibition is not applicable to laws that have been around long before this incident occurred and even before the Constitution was written and adopted. Simply put, a person who wages war and/or associates with an organization waging war without the commission of a sovereign power is de facto guilty of a capitol offense under the Law of Nations and the Laws of War, and they are deniedd the protections of law.
