(11,101 posts)First of all, you have no idea what "Due Process" means. To suggest that Due Process under the 5th Amendment does not include the right to a fair and public trial conducted in a competent manner, the right to be present at the trial, the right to an impartial jury
and the right to be heard in one's own defense is just plain wrong. Totally and utterly wrong. You can't even have a discussion if you don't understand the basic things you are talking about. You are free to argue that drone assassinations are not the "moral equivalent" of genocide. You're right. But what exactly does your definition of morality have to do with Due Process? I certainly never suggested drone assassinations were the moral equivalent of concentrations camps. It was you that mistakenly defined Due Process as "following the law". I simply pointed out that just about everything the Nazis did was written into the law, including concentration camps. Whether the drone attacks are "outside the law" is obviously debatable, as it torture apparently, thanks to GW Bush. What can't be argued is that those assassinated by drones were afforded Due Process. I suggest you read the 5th Amendment again and start over.
