If you're labeled a terrorist, you are not human anymore and your rights are void.
Well, from what we have seen, it's more like if you are even within a kill zone of the latest guided bomb of someone who has been labeled a terrorist, you are not human anymore and your rights are now null.
And we will have to be naive if we think it will stop here…
- sdoering 13y agoNo, but you most likely will be labled a combatant after the fact. Even when you were a young child, that got killed in a drone attack. Only recently the US did tell its people, that the so called precision strikes (mostly from the CIA) did kill innocent people. Until then it was: "We did only kill terrorists, enemy fighters and combatants." Sorry, to say that, but the EX-POTUS Jimmy Carter seems to have gotten it right: "America does not have any functioning democracy" http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=de&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sueddeutsche.de%2Fpolitik%2Funterstuetzung-fuer-prism-enthueller-ex-praesident-carter-nimmt-snowden-in-schutz-1.1723726 http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=de&sl=auto&tl=en&u=... And everything above I said knowing, what is said of the killed father. Knowing him allegedly being an Al-Qaeda-Member and recruiter and so on. If the government had so much on him (and his son), why not trial him (even in absence) and let a jury decide? Why use methods, worthy of some ruthless dictator, or the governments from humanities darkest moments? Coming from Germany (and knowing, that our government is not one bit better, but not equipped that efficiently) I really do not understand, how any sane American official can tell the world, that the US is the democratic role-model for all to follow.
