Those have not changed, BTW. My final article is lengthy one on <A HREF="http://ajacksonian.blogspot.com/2007/08/piracy-terrorism-and-wider-view.html" REL="nofollow">Piracy and Terrorism</A> and I go as far back as Josephus to get a handle on the problem (although one could go to the 'Sea People' described in Ancient Egypt right after the fall of the Mycenaen Greek civilization). A follow-on as to <A HREF="http://ajacksonian.blogspot.com/2007/10/if-they-dont-teach-it-how-can-you.html" REL="nofollow">what is not taught to us</A> about our Nation and the Law of Nations, plus other foundational ideas is, likewise lengthy.<BR/><BR/>And it supports President Lincoln fully.<BR/><BR/>Article 82 violates no treaty as, indeed, no treaty can be made about such beings that wage illegitimate war. Congress may write civil law for those that give themselves up to civil proceedings, but the President has a duty to deal with such individuals in the way set out for Nations before ours was created. That is why there are no laws covering them properly during wartime: they are not legitimate foes but, instead, are outlaws in the old sense of the word of being 'outside the law'. Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln... they all dealt with such this way either by written order or verbal command. Now we are no longer clear on what a Nation *is* and so we flounder. When Rome was in such a state we called it 'decadent', as it was decaying internally and losing internal coherence. Either we regain clarity or the fate of this world will be post-Rome save globally.A Jacksonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07607888697879327120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15375010.post-8922010687512319292007-11-27T09:31:00.000-05:002007-11-27T09:31:00.000-05:00Here, here!Here, here!Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03977090801334626461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15375010.post-65907065188390613222007-11-27T03:49:00.000-05:002007-11-27T03:49:00.000-05:00Kill 'em all, let Allah sort 'em out...Kill 'em all, let <I>Allah</I> sort 'em out...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15375010.post-24609149586326148552007-11-27T02:56:00.000-05:002007-11-27T02:56:00.000-05:00Exactly - the world will hate us anyway.
