Sounds like something Shep Smith or Megyn Kelly would say. I got so tired of listening to the two of them the other day, I switched to (God forgive me) MSNBC with Brian Williams. He was commenting on weapons and said, “police are using the standard M-4 semi-automatic.” I looked over to my wife and said, “If he was talking about a citizen armed as such, he’d have called it an assault weapon.”
Realize it’s their error not yours, but capitalizing “Him” in this reference is wrong.
Amputate one leg and question. If still uncooperative amputate the other. Then hands and arms. An eye for an eye.
The Russians have “Specialists” that can handle this better than our naive “experts”.
“He should be declared an enemy combatant”
As it stands now, the Congressional declaration we are working under for the war on terror is limited to the groups who attacked us on 9/11.
So they need to technically tie him to al-Qaeda or the Taliban or an associated group to designated him an enemy combatant.
What we need is for Congress to broaden the authorization to refer to all jihadi fighters acting in the name of Islam, and then we can more easily treat someone like this an enemy combatant without first having to find evidence linked to a known al-Qaeda network.
Should actually be as an “illegal combatant”. Don’t give Islamofascist terrorists the benefit of a state-actor designation and Geneva Convention protections.
They are no better than pirates on the open seas - no legal protections at all.
They are outside the law.
good point: unlawful enemy combatant and no Geneva Convention protection.
