Would it be a surprise if Americans here can already be targets?

Bet they are just creaming their drawers for another Ruby Ridge where they can dump a couple cluster bombs.

this court is constrained by law, and under the law, I can only conclude that the government has not violated FOIA by refusing to turn over the documents sought in the FOIA requests, and so cannot be compelled by this court of law to explain in detail the reasons why its actions do not violate the Constitution and laws of the United States. The Alice-in-Wonderland nature of this pronouncement is not lost on me; but after careful and extensive consideration, I find myself stuck in a paradoxical situation in which I cannot solve a problem because of contradictory constraints and rules — a veritable catch-22. I can find no way around the thicket of laws and precedents that effectively allow the Executive Branch of our government to proclaim as perfectly lawful certain actions that seem on their face incompatible with our Constitution and laws, while keeping the reasons for their conclusion a secret.

IMHO when you arrive at situations like this, the people who put forth the most recent law that caused this situation, should be arrested.

How else can we deter politicians from creating these kinds of situations? This is serious.
