In war if you don't kill enemy eventually you will be killed by enemy.
South Vietnam is an example. All nations should assassinate the
"useful idiots". From the Roman empire to the Barbarians, all wars are
brutal, and the winners write the history. Chairmen Ho, Mao are
praised by the history because they won the war. Had Hitler and
Hirohito won the war, they would be praised.
War sucks, but surrender by South Vietnam to end the war isn't
pretty. South Vietnamese had the choice to die bravely in the
battlefields or in re-education camps and at leaky boats in the seas.
Many selected the re-education camps and the seas.
If the US don't want to kill the enemy one way another, surrender to
the terrorists isn't pretty. Everyone must die some day, so if you
have the chance to kill enemy for your nation when you alive, do it.
The US did not allow South Vietnamese government to assassinate all
communist agents inside the ARVN (such as big Minh), the Buddhist
church, and student organizations, and South Vietnam lost the war. In
war, president of small nations must behave like Ho, Kim, Mao,Hitler
to eliminate all "useful idiots". In war, dictatorship and brutality
are justified.

Before or after? Even a child knows why, for being part
of a terrorist organization dedicated to the destruction
of America.

What an exercise in mindless anti-Americanism!

If the US Government is going to kill one of its own citizens they can
at least declare him an outlaw by issuing an arrest warrant.

This is the original meaning of an outlaw - someone who has had his
rights cancelled so he can be killed with impunity.

Do you know what a "nom de guerre" is?

nom de guerre - a fictitious name used when the person performs a
particular social roll

I suspect that you mean:

bill of attainder

n. a legislative act which declares a named person guilty of a crime,
particularly treason. Such bills are prohibited by Article I, Section 9
of the Constitution.


An alternative form is the Latin "Caput lupinum"
where the man is declared to be a "wolf's head" - legal to kill him.

No, lamebrain, I mean the terrorists hide behind deniable cover names.

Using a nom de guerre is hardly proof of terrorist intent, if it were
we would have to imprison half the people who post on usenet.

Irrelevant. We do not need to know his real name to kill him.
