    That's fine in peacetime (even then it has anomalies which prove the exception to the rule), but we're at war now and unless the law is changed we will lose it.

    Hate to break it like this but, yes, the western democracies are at war, or at least Islamists have declared war on the western democracies as well as non-democracies. They're doing this in order to establish an international caliphate. Are you listening to what the Islamists have to say or are you relying on Kafirs in the west for your information?

    Terrorists, terrorist supporters, and those that harbor terrorists should all be considered enemy combatants and sent to CIA black sites.

    agreed, to be on the safe side everyone loyal to the United States of America should start acting more patriotic to avoid suspicion at federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies

    i suggest adopting good moral character, joining a Christian church, and supporting our new leader unconditionally.

    Is it your contention that these 'Lone Wolves' are not being inspired by Islamist but have somehow morphed into terrorists on their own?

    The method of choice? What are the choices? I seems unclear how anyone could 'self radicalize' without outside influences.

    Are you using James Comey as your debate stand-in? You're parroting the term 'self radicalized' but cannot come up with your own definition of what it actually means. We should consider these terms before accepting them without question.

    There is really only one war crime: losing.
