re: #468 iceweasel
Who do you imagine they should be enforced against? Specifically.
People who commit treason against the United States, in particular those U.S. citizens who take up arms against the United States in war. Specifically, I would have approved of bringing up John Walker Lindh on those charges. I would also approve of doing the same thing with anyone else doing the same thing. I think it was merciful of the prosecutors not to pursue those charges in that case. But, if there ever gets to be a wave of American Al-Qaeda hauled into our courts, I’d prefer we get tougher with them.
