Andy9o8 2 #3 March 29, 2013 Apparently fighting with the bad guys on the side of the good guys against the bad guys, in the name of good, is bad. Seems clear enough to me.

We already know the CIA is organizing arms shipments, and I would not be the least surprised if there were people in Syria. But an individual helping???

sfzombie 3 #5 March 29, 2013 is it really illegal for a us citizen to go abroad and help rebels? even when the rebels are being supplied by the un? it seems to me it should be allowed and as long as he didn't target the us or friends of the us it should be ok.http://kitswv.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From what I can see it depends on which rebel group the citizen hooks up with. This guy apparently hooked-up with a particular rebel group the US considers to be a terrorist organization - the implication being that had he hooked up with a different rebel group he conceivably would be OK.

Skyrad 0 #10 March 30, 2013 He is being done for using a Weapon of Mass Destruction outside of the USA, a Nuke? Chemical weapons? Biological weapons?.... No, so what was this mysterious WMD?.... A frickin RGP! Since when was a RPG WMD? When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

It ...might? depend on (a) the language of the statutes he's charged w/violating, plus (b) what US law considers a sufficient act for a US citizen to divest himself of his US citizenship to take it outside the scope of the criminal statute - neither of which I've looked up. Or, maybe a drone would just blow his ass up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bollox to all these feckin drones, all ye have to do is ask Al Q to come in for tea and crumpets and they will show up in droves.
