Careen over the fiscal cliff?
That word doesn't mean what you think it means. Unless you mean the US was run up on a beach for the fouling to be removed from its hull. Perhaps you meant (or the Editor meant) career?
It is also used to mean tilt or lean while in motion.
Your definition does seem oddly appropriate though.
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation
Note that it says person, not citizen. Your constitution clearly specifies when it applies to citizens only vs when it applies to everyone. If doing it to Americans is wrong, then so is doing it to non-Americans.
Since there is no declaration of war, the possible exception is the "public danger" clause. If it applies, then it applies to everyone.
It could easily be argued that blowing up a US citizen terrorist is less a violation of the constitution than blowing up some non-threatening goat herder on the other side of the world.
If you really want to see disgusting behavior that should get your politicians charged with murder, look up the "double-tap" strategy.
Meanwhile we are using drone strikes on American citizens without even a facade of due process...
You know, this is the attitude that pisses off most of the rest of the world. You don't even consider that using drone strikes against people who are not US citizens might be wrong.
It's all "Oh no, Obama blew up an American, how terrible". Never mind the Afghan, Iraqi, and Pakistani kids being blown to bits, they're brown and not American so they don't matter.
Not targeted enough. The chance that you get two identical emails from different sources and notice something's amiss is way too high.
Not if they all know each other. At one place I used to work, people would forward emails all over the place, to both internal and external contacts.
If something was really funny or very relevent to the work, the popular people would see multiple copies as everyone sent it to them.
Funniest thing was that there was a poorly enforced policy about spamming, so nobody forwarded them to IT. If it was malware it usually got everybody before IT even knew about it.
