The entire point of our system of justice is that nobody ever needs to fear being ACCUSED of anything... Because you have to be convicted BEFORE anything can be done to you as a punishment. You are innocently waiving your right to the most important legal protection you have and instead relying on 'not being accused.' When all it takes are accusations, you get the Salem witch trials,McCarthyism, internment camps and people using our criminal justice system to their own gain by accusing innocent people they disagree with...

Do you not understand that "our system of justice" does not apply in Yemen?
I understand my legal rights perfectly. I understand that when I leave the United States and enter a foreign country, American law does not apply.
An American citizen in a foreign country facing off the US military as an enemy combatant is not protected by the US Constitution. There is no trial, no attorneys, and no due process.
