is it patriotic or treasonous when the left defends the rights of an Al Qaeda leader just because he was a US citizen ??
It is defending who we are as Americans...not sure what you are talking about, which you would give a link of some sort..but if you are talking about the right to a trial by jury..yep he has that right, like it or not...it isn't the left that should be defending that right..but all Americans..after all the Constitution doesn't just apply to those you want it to..it protects all people in the US.....
He could have turned himself in. He had that right didn't he? I don't think the Constitution protects people, even citizens, who join an organization that openly declares and wages war on us.
The Supreme Court disagrees...think about Jose Padilla..a US citizen.
