Ever heard of the ticking bomb scenario. I would much rather prefer the more productive approach--live feed of a staged killing of their family. No retreat, no surrender, hoo-rah.

 

You are nothing short of a disgrace ,  I don't mind being banned for saying that .... you are .

 

 Calm down. He's just making a reference to 24 and trying to get under your skin.

Anyway, this is exactly what Obama should have done. He promised he would and he did.

@superchunk: You are right, the fed should extend natural rights to everyone. However, these people should be treated as POWs. I'm not saying torture them and kill them, but they are clearly enemies with violent intent and in some cases have commited acts of war. They arent just some shoplifting criminals and they shouldn't be treated as such. They need to be handled and quartined for their violent nature. My question is: Is there a difference in how we handle a criminal vs a war enemy?

Actually, the ttbs is an actual NSA, CIA, and military scenario that involves short-term to near immediate threats to national security, ie, dirty bomb, cyberattack, invasion, etc., etc.  Just b/c 24 played up on this situation does not mean it cannot happen for real.  Mossad, Shin Bet, MI6, NSA, CIA, KGB, all have protocols for this and classifies as a Code-Red in the DHS' SAS.  This will immediately lead the President to upgrade to at least Defcon 3.
