Originally posted by harleyquinn: My thought is I'm curious to see just how loud our government would be yelling if it was an American citizen in another country (say a more conservative country compared to the US, like China was (maybe still is, not sure)), who was suddenly whisked away, denied the right to speak to family, lawyer, a US Rep, anyone, and was sentenced to death without a trial, or just left in jail for eternity. I'm positive we'd be up in arms and our Gov't would be livid (for example, the tension that erupted after some service men were captured when the spy plane was shot down by China a few years back). I don't like this "enemy combatant" policy only because I fear of the precedence it'll set for other countries. It will make me wary of where I travel from now on, to make sure that there is little or no anti-american sentiment in that country (good luck, I know )

There'd be a recknin' that's for sure.
