"It might be argued that in enacting the Patriot Act, Congress partially suspended habeas corpus in response to the "Invasion" we call 9/11." Even if someone did argue for that, which you didn't do, they would argue that 9/11 was an "invasion", not an invasion. See how that works? Also, the perpetrators were from Saudi Arabia mostly, yet Iraq was attacked, talking about how he's an evil man which had fuck all to do with him attacking the US. That's kinda where your whole post falls down like a house of cards. Remember Powell before the UN, with a dry throat and sweating a lot, showing his slides about what might be mobile WMD labs? Heh. No, to anyone not accomplice to it, or suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, this is rather clear. And it's old. Americans have been warning Americans for a century now. The military industrial complex doesn't do this since lately. As to whether the Constitution prohibits killing an enemy combatant in wartime without individualized due process in each case: That'd be a really, really tough sell If you simply define "military age males" who died in drone attacks as those, then they're not really enemy combatants, they're "enemy combatants", which raises the same issue as the "invasion" stuff does. Also, simply attacking people and calling it war doesn't make it "wartime". Just saying "it's war!" doesnt make it war.
