As I perused the headlines of The Telegraph I came across one that talked about how many British citizens have died fighting for ISIS. A couple of observations.
First, in the article I did not see it ever label these killers as “terrorists”. Although it did call the organizations by that name it never connected the dots to the thugs doing the killing.
Second, I wonder when we will see an article listing the American citizens who have died fighting for ISIS or other violent groups. Maybe it is out there and I missed it. Since ISIS has announced its hatred for America I would think that anyone joining them would meet the Constitution’s test for treason. That would make it appropriate to cancel their citizenship, posthumously, of course.
It sounds like something Congress could agree on, but I think President Obama would veto it.
