Drone Strikes, ‘Imminence’ and the Need for Judgment, Part II | Capital Commentary

Drone Strikes, ‘Imminence’ and the Need for Judgment, Part II | Capital Commentary by Brad Littlejohn.  MGB:  I did not see anything in the text about internationality until the last paragraph, although I agree that a more unified allied government to bear the burden of dealing with terrorism would be helpful.  Be that as it may, there is no need for judgment in the face of continuing attacks or attempts at such things.  While in the US there seem to be a variety of people who were supposedly minding their own business or simply sharing their views who got caught in operations entirely made up in the Hoover Building, an American in an enemy camp which is the source of those attacks is committing treason.  If such a person returns and two witnesses can testify, he can be convicted.  If not, however, he or she mainly presents a danger to the United States and its citizens and should be treated like any other enemy combatant.  Thomas More argued that assassination is much more logical than full scale war.  He had a point.
