America is Phenomenal- Be a Part of Her
Here's the Transcript of Graham questioning then:
G: So when someone says post 911, that we've been at war and it's called the War on Terrorism.. Do you generally agree with that concept?
K: I do Senator, because congress passed the 'Authorization for use of Military Force' which is still in effect, and that was passed of course on Sept 14th 2001 - 3 days later.
G: Let’s talk about the Law in War. Is there a body of Law called the Law of Armed Conflict?
K: There is such a body Senator.
G: Is there a body of Law that's called Basic Criminal Law?
K: Yes Senator.
G: Are there differences between those two bodies of Law?
K: Yes Senator.
G: From an American citizens point of view, do your constitutional rights follow you? If you're in Paris does the Fourth Amendment protect you as an American from your own government?
K: From your own government, yes.
G: Ok, so if you're in Afghanistan do your Constitutional Rights protect you from your own government?
K: If you're an American and you're in Afghanistan you have Constitutional Rights as against the US Government. That's long settled Law.
G: Isn't there also long settled law that.. it goes back to Eisentrager case, I can't remember the name of it–
K: Yeah, Johnson vs Eisentrager.
G: Right. That American citizens who collaborate are considered Enemy Combatants?
K: They can be–
G: Can be–
K: They can be. They're often– they're sometimes criminally prosecuted, sometimes treated in the Military [sense?].
G: Lets talk about can be. I think the–
K: Under Supreme Court precedent, I just want to make– Yeah.
G: Right. There's a Supreme Court decision that American citizens who collaborated with Nazi saboteurs were tried by the Military, is that correct?
K: That is correct.
G: I think, a couple of them were executed.
K: Yeah.
G: So if anybody doubts there's a long standing history in this country.
