I don't think we owe these people a dime because the constitution grants the federal government the power to suspend habious* corpus in times of war or insurection* and terrorist are not over here committing criminal acts because a criminal act is an act against an individual within a nation such as being robbed or murdered. Those acts are not committed against a nation but an individual because a robber never attacks the innocent in the name of his country, nation, or faction he represents but for the sole purpose of benefiting his own person. On the other hand, terrorist attack people for the purpose of attacking a nation. Osama didn't have beef with those 4,000 but a beef with our nation which makes his attack less of criminal act but an act of war between us and his terrorist organization. This is why it can't be treated as a criminal act because his actions were launched for the same reason Japan attacked us and that was they had a problem with our nation. This is why terrorist are not given the same procededrial protections under 5th amendment that people committing a criminal act would receive and that the federal government is authorized to use a broad range of powers in order to apprehend terrorist. Powers associated with orchestrating a war and not prosecuting crime.
