National "Do Not Kill Registry" Launched In Response To Drone Kill List
First time accepted submitter crtitheories writes "In response to the national kill list revealed by the New York Times a few weeks ago, an online "Do Not Kill" Registry has been launched where users can sign up to avoid being mistakenly added. From the Do Not Kill website: 'Through an active collaboration between the Do not Kill Registry, the brave pilots and operators of the U.S. drone program, and the American public, we believe that we can find the political and moral solutions needed to both protect the security of the United States while also satisfying the concerns of the broader global community'. "
We are not at war with another nation-state, thus we are not at war.

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 offence 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.
Actually, note that it says "person" not citizen. This was intentional (you can see to how many times they note "citizen" in the constitution), and so it applies to all people, including foreigners.
That part of the Constitution says 'no person', not 'no American citizen'. The right to due process does not depend on being a citizen of any particular country.

False. The UN Commander-in-Chief signed an armistice with the North Koreans and the Chinese back in 1953.
North Korea and South Korea are still at war with each other since South Korea wasn't a signatory to the armistice.
Due process for civilians while we're not in a declared war does in fact mean in a court of law. Only members of the military and "enemy combatants" are subject to military jurisdiction outside of military facility or area declared to be under martial law.

Questions raise, answers kill. Raise questions to stay alive.
No. did you actually read the link you provided? That is a cease-fire. It is not a peace treaty. It does not end the war. (It is true that South Korea never signed the cease fire.)
here's a longer explanation.
