    Cmon man you know what I was getting at. No matter whom the next president is we must keep the war on terrorism going. We have them on the ropes now and we can't let up. Obama has done a good job of keeping the pressure on. For all the talking points aginst Bush's war on terrorism during the last presidential election, Obama has pretty much stayed the coarse. Once he got into office he realized that Bush was doing the right thing on many of the same items the democrats were aginst. Look at gitmo for an example. It's still there. Not as many terrorist are still locked up there but it was the correct action keeping it open.

    Lighten up, Francis!

    The fact that he called you out on a misspell tells you he agreed with everything else.

    2,3, & 4: I guess we could say that anyone belonging to al qaeda has lost his citizenship. I don't know if anyone ever said that and he as far as I know he hadn't lost his citizenship. I wonder if he was officially a part of al qaeda, if he had a salary and a pension, if he was considered an officer with an office provided by al qaeda?

    7: Who was he convicted by?

    I guess one should ask why his citizenship wasn't revoked if he was a member of al qaeda. Too complicated and too much work to prove it?

    He worked for the downfall of the nation. He could have been convicted if necessary. But he had already forfeited his citizenship because of attacking the United States on behalf of a foreign power.

    You know, I understand that sometimes you don't have the paperwork to make what you've done technically legal, but that doesn't make what you've done wrong.

    My question is this wasn't something that developed overnight, we had time to get the paperwork right. I think there is a legit question of if HE attacked or even took part in planning any attack on the US. Do you know what it means to be a "part of al Qaeda"? Is that an official title or is it based on loose relationships or simply sharing ideaology?

    So the question remains to me, if we had the evidence, why didn't we revoke his citizenship long ago? Seems suspicious.
