The War on Terror and the Law

The New York Times: Reports on the legal minefield facing the Obama Administration when it comes to fighting the War on Terror. That is the problem for liberals, the don't see 9/11 as an Act of War, they see it as a legal matter, they consider terrorists like UBL and KSM to have the same rights as other defendants in the legal system. The problem that liberals face is the fact that it is a War, even the great FDR threw away the law books at the start of the World War Two, thus the decision by the US Government to intern those Americans of Japanese decent. It was illegal but if liberals had started to spout about the law they would have been tarred and feathered by the public. It was immoral and the wrong decision, but it was a War. One can see some extreme liberals wanting to prevent the US from using its drones to attack terrorists in the badlands of the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan, the use of the drones is one of the legal problems for the Obama Administration. When it comes to the use of the drones to fire hellfire missiles you don't have to time to read to terrorists their rights, if you don't take action these terrorists will laugh in your face and strike Western interests around the world. Also the use of the drones by the CIA gets around the need to use assassination special forces to take out Al Qaeda terrorists, if these Special Forces had to do the job you would run in to the laws passed by the Congress in the 1970s to prevent hit jobs by the CIA. I guess the Congress has no problems with hellfire missiles that take out terrorists and their families but does have a problem if a target is taken out with a rifle. The above is why Liberals are never trusted with national security, Bush 43 took action, Obama's men read law books to win a war.
