Congress puts up rewards and what is needed to gain a Warrant... get the Warrant and the President hands you a Letter to go after things. Congress can list the enemies, list the things to interdict, set up the Bounties and put out a standard letter on these things that the President has little option but to sign-off on. To *not* do so would be to deny the Law of the Land and abdicate his duties as President. The Executive can do the certification process with *appeals* that Congress sets up in case of *bias* by the Executive.<BR/><BR/>I want Our Enemies hounded everywhere on all fronts as they try to gain goods and services... until they run out of those willing to take the large risk to make small profit.<BR/><BR/>That is what the People of the United States can and MUST do... the Military is made to go after Nations. We the People are supposed to sweat the small stuff.A Jacksonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07607888697879327120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20372724.post-1156523782996153542006-08-25T12:36:00.000-04:002006-08-25T12:36:00.000-04:00Ajacksonian,Terrific analysis and proposal. And, ...Ajacksonian,<BR/><BR/>Terrific analysis and proposal. And, you haven’t even touched on the “net-directed” aspects of such citizen-based asymmetrical conflicts. It costs almost nothing to have millions of our citizens to mount DoS attacks, 24/7/365 -- soon as it’s ID’d, it no longer operates. <BR/><BR/>We can preclude our enemies use the net for distributing radicalism, by having the US gov’t openly declare certain websites as legitimate targets, and publishing the list real-time. <BR/><BR/>We can write automated programs, on each of our personal machines, etc. Our best <I>wormists</I> can inflict serious damage, over and over and over.<BR/><BR/>Incite Liberty!<BR/>Weaponize Freedom!<BR/>Inflict Capitalism!geoffgohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03532894676338374545noreply@blogger.com
