I voted no. I don't really believe non-citizens have rights.However this can lead us down the slippery slope of it being used on Americans and if these drone strikes are like those in other countries innocent bystanders can be harmed and the property of innocent people can be damaged as the result of a drone strike.If a terrorist attacker is holding up in a building, and the U.S. authorities can't talk him out because he's not and American.He may be from Afghanistan,Iraq,Turkey.Should drones be used ?

If you know who he is and where he is (in the US) then why ever use a drone? This poll makes no sense to me.
A terrorist is a terrorist's,Rand Paul wanted an answer only for American's terrorist.That's the reason for the Q.eace
I stand by my response to your response, "this poll make's no sense.":lol: :doh You specifically mentioned a DIFFERENCE between your terrorists (on US soil) in the poll, based upon their citizenship. Now you assert otherwise = major fail. :roll:
Rand Paul was recently objecting to assassination of ANYONE in the US using a drone, terrorist or not. You may be confusing Rand Paul's and other's objections to intentionally killing US citizens OVERSEAS with drones which was not in your poll at all.
If in this country legally, they have most of the same rights we do.I voted no. I don't really believe non-citizens have rights.However this can lead us down the slippery slope of it being used on Americans and if these drone strikes are like those in other countries innocent bystanders can be harmed and the property of innocent people can be damaged as the result of a drone strike.

just think about the current legal definition of suspected terrorists according to DHS. Every American Veteral of a foreign war is on that list of suspected terrorists. Now say it's okay to kill a suspected terrorist who isn't a citizen, without due process. 1 in 4 American Veterans of foreign wars don't have immediate proof of citizenship , due process would be required for hem to have a chance to prove they are citizens. Kill by drone attack, suspected terrorists who aren't citizens, without due process? Great, the Government will save millions on veteran's benefits, and Congress can have another payraise. Yep, it passes the brilliant-idea test, it results in Congress getting a payraise.
I think we should use everything. Aircraft carriers, tanks, subs, ballistic missiles - the whole enchilada. Maybe even trained killer dolphins. We'll get him.
Indeed. With all the assets at our disposal here, I really don't understand the question posed by the poll. In fact, I don't understand why this administration had any problem at all in making the statement Senator Paul requested. We have used drones in places like Pakistan and Afghanistan because either we don't have assets in the immediate area or we don't want to put any that are at risk. We have no such problem here.Good morning, Humbolt.
I like the trained killer dolphins idea! They are intelligent, they don't harm each other, they are eager to learn new tricks, and they're just plain lovable! What's not to like?
