[Vision2020] GPS Tracking and Secret Policies

[Tom Hansen]

Sunil inquires:

Do you support the following:

--------------------------------------

-Using drones to kill children, civilians, US citizens without due process;

I totally, and without hesitation or qualification, oppose the use of drones "to kill children, civilians, US citizens", as I hope everybody does.

I do, however, support the use of drones as a means of reconnaissance and use as a defensive weapon to ensure the security and safety of our troops.

--------------------

-Allowing the Bush Administration torturers to escape prosecution;

I seriously believe in and support proseution of those torturers to the maximum extent allowable.  There is a special place in Hell for those who apply the technique of water-boarding.

--------------------

-Instead prosecuting and imprisoning people who reveal information about that torture regime;

The individuals that publicly expose those torturers, and the methods they apply (in violation of the Geneva Convention), should be applauded (NOT prosecuted).

--------------------

-the Patriot Act;

As I am not totally knowledgable of the Patriot Act, I am unqualiied to evaluate it in its entirety.  Although, I do TOTALLY OPPOSE warrantless searches.

--------------------

-rendition;

Huh?

--------------------

-continuing and enlarging the Bush programs to illegally spy on citizens;

You would have to define "spy".  

If, by "spy", you mean warrantless wiretapping of personal communication devices and installing videotaping equipment on private property, i am in total opposition.

If, by "spy", you mean law enforcement personnel following a person around town or across the nation, my only question of them would be, "What hotels do you recommend?"

--------------------

-lying to the public about those programs

I oppose lying, Sunil

But first you must learn how to smile as you kill 
If you want to be like the folks on the hill."
