re: #230 Decatur Deb

We don’t need to let active citizen-combatants slide, but must develop a process that inspires a high degree of national consensus and confidence.

Agreed. I think it would be best to get the judiciary involved somehow, despite the difficulties of trial in absentia. It is not helpful for the issue of due process to become a political football, especially with the level of polarization we presently have.

The last thing we need is for paranoids on both extremes of the spectrum to have their ravings about US assassinations and lawless behavior supported in part by real due process/civil liberties concerns.
