Full Rights for Terrorists in U.S. Courts?

Former government attorneys and defense experts fear that foreign terrorists could capitalize on a new House proposal that would afford them full protection under the U.S. legal system, potentially spurring a domestic influx of would-be terrorists who may seek to exploit the legal loophole.

The amendment, spearheaded by Reps. Justin Amash (R., Mich.) and Adam Smith (D., Wash), would implement an unprecedented reversal in longstanding U.S. policy by requiring that terrorists be prosecuted in civilian courts—a shift that would also allow them to be housed among general inmates in American prisons.

The amendment would prevent the president from effectively fighting the war on terror, thereby posing a serious threat to the country’s national security, experts warn.

    Try living in Israel, where rockets rain down daily from REAL Hezbollah and palestinian Muslim terrorists.
    They deserve the bare minimum of rights afforded by the Geneva convention. Period.

  5. We don't negotiate with terrorists...or used to not. Why would they have ANY rights here in this country? Legal or otherwise?
