wellI finds this hard to mesh. We are bombing and killing guys ( 7 yesterday?) with predators, there is no due process to be had. They could be , what everything from goat herders with an ak to serious guys we need to hit. They get kablooyed all over the countryside.
We have a guy whom should be dead but isn’t, pulled the trigger on the murder of 275-300 (?) people…. He could whom could have given us good actionable intel, and now we are saying we might get info. As we plea bargain?

You’re worried about due process…? He will never see the light of day again….

I am trying to square that circle but can’t…
Well, were it up to me, we'd capture those guys that we're killing, but for many reasons.

You do raise an interesting point. But, I think that the difference is that you're talking about an individual captured on American soil in an American conveyance, with an American visa. If we don't give him the due process required by our own laws, we set a precedent that scares the hell out of me. When our government is not subject to its own laws, it stops being a deomocracy and becomes a dictatorship.
