#1,,, these aren’t “peoples families” and they weren’t threatened. These are TERRORISTS, who swore DEATH to us in WAR. These aren;’t some innocent American citizens walking down Main Street USA. And NO child was threatened. What was done was the PRISONER was told his family could be in danger. NO Marine walked up to that child in Afghanisatn and held a rifle to their heads

#2 apples and oranges. Policies being implemented that affect the entire population can be reasonably argued. THE job of the gov;’t is to protect Americans (see #1), NOT to mandate life decisions of Americans

Aah, so since they’re not people, it’s okay? Sorry, I don’t want to live in a country with one set of laws over here and another set over there. It’s a bureaucrat’s pen that puts people in categories, and I just simply don’t trust any Administration - liberal, conservative, moderate whatever, with the power to selectively apply law to itself.
