DOJ employee states the president may have the power to order killings inside the US
could Bush, for instance, order the killing of a Qaeda suspect known to be on U.S. soil? Bradbury replied that he believed Bush could indeed do this, at least in certain circumstances.

University of Chicago law professor Cass Sunstein says the post-9/11 congressional resolution authorizing the use of military force against Al Qaeda empowered the president to kill 9/11 perpetrators, or people who assisted their plot, whether they were overseas or inside the United States. On the other hand, Sunstein says, the president would be on less solid legal ground were he to order the killing of a terror suspect in the United States who was not actively preparing an attack.

Because I'm in an aliance with the bears.

I actually agree.

No President should have the power or right to kill an Al Qaeda member on U.S. soil.

That is a power and right that should be given to ME.

Good to see MBro is up to date on his daily anti-bush thread.

Only about 700 more to go!

Is this a big deal? Of course the president can order a death..

Any person with power can order a the death of someone.

Its my beliefe that lately, in the past 6 years, things have happened that would shock and appaul the average person.

Bush being able to order the death of someone shouldnt shock you.

We are at war right now, the battlefeild isnt only in Iraq and Afganistan, US soil is just as good a battleground to people wishing to do us harm. And he is our comander and cheif.

1077 Days

To be fair, they're anti stupid goverment threads. Bush or his administraion just tend to make the majority of them.

George Washington ordered the killing of british troops on our soil.

As long as i they are enemy combatents, we can kill them.

As long as we know they are a combatant, i dont think hes saying bush can order this on a whim.

I hope not at any rate.

Tell us, what have they told you while working for the Pentagon?

I just think the government gets away with a lot. More than what we know about.
