It has nothing to do with actually stopping such attacks, and everything to do with his/her detainment, treatment, and trial. When will you actually read what people write?
Great. If the government has reason to suspect American citizens are hostile to the United States, I want them to withold their rights for as long as necessary. Just because you think this war is a joke, does not mean the rest of us are mentally retarded.
