    If the government deemed me a terror threat based on my internet postings, phone calls or anything else...... without me be charged with a crime, tried by a judge and jury or found guilty of any crime, they could authorize a drone strike on my home while i was having a family picnic with my 5 brothers and their families who had no idea of my internet postings. If myself, my 5 brothers, their wives and children were killed by this government drone strike, they could respond simply....

    "Sinfix should have been a better brother and not invited his brothers over to his house when he was a terrorist"

    without proving anything, charging me with any crime, or having any type of trial.

    This CAN happen right now...... and something like this already has happened.
    When has the US government sent a drone strike to a US citizen for no reason at all on US soil?

    This isn't the topic of discussion, funny how you start a new debate when you lose one. Lets read the exact laws on this "arrest for no reason and kill your family with a drone" bill and see what we all take it as. I know it's not all BS, but clearly there has to be more to it.

    True, EXCEPT this is clearly written as a preventative law, I bet it will never be roughen up in an arrest.

    So yes, not every bill is for profit.

    They would never call the "Kill you with a drone even though you havnt been charged with a crime or tried by a jury bill" the "kill you with a drone even though you havnt been charged with a crime or tried by a jury bill".....

    They would call it something like the "anti terrorism safety go america black people are awesome nonthreatening vote for me bill"....

    They always bury the devil in the details.

    That situation is not as you described, someone was killed in another country, a family member of a terrorist?

    Sad, uncalled for, but...

    You're speaking of things from the NDAA, right?

    Yes, and Obama authorized the use of drone strikes on american soil. Current drone strikes have about 50-1 civilian vs terrorist kill rate.... that force is currently legal on american soil. Why?

    HAS there been an attack on US soil though?

    If they use a drone to take out a known terrorist location in the US and do so without blowing up a neighborhood, why not? There has to be more to it than just freedom of blowing stuff up though. That's what I want to know, being allowed is a broad statement.

    when they killed the 16 year old american born boy, they authorized his father to be killed because of "propaganda"....... This is why you are judged by a jury of your peers. Who makes the decision who should and shouldnt be killed and why isnt it public? if someone is guilty of a crime, arrest them.......... have a trial, jail them. That is the american way. We dont set buildings on fire to kill the criminals inside of it...... oh wait.
