>> in spirit i agree with everything he saying. i would have to analyze the law carefully, but i have no moral objection, i have no constitutional objection to it, and if it can be done i would say yes. right now it comes down to what is most efficient, what is most effective. that would influence me, not the fact that i have any problem with him being declared an enemy combatant, its whether or not that would slow the process down. which is easier for us to get the result we want? to find out w...

Combatant. p certainly when sarah sanders said that, they set the legal world to set the dod general counsels office off and running. its not clear the legal authorities would extend that far. now after that afternoon of sound and furry, we fine hes charged in a federal court, in a civilian court, so this is a lot of nothing. its not clear if the president did plan on maybing this novel or dramatic legal argument or he didnt understand what the words enemy combatant meant and what the ramificati...

Enemy combatant under the law of war. >> sandra: joining me the marc thiessen from the "washington post" and fox news contributor. do you agree with the senator? >> 100%. senator graham is 100% correct. the one word -- the words you never say to a captured terrorist is you have the right to remain silent. he doesnt have the right to remain silent. we need to know who he was working with, who trained him and who else might be out there and find it out fast. we remember how outraged we were in 200...

About quick justice even for somebody who is a legal resident here for a terror attack. somebody who claims that isis is behind what he does or the law should be changed so that even someone like that could be charged as an enemy combatant. its a huge, you know, culture clash and obviously a clash of questions of civil liberties versus, you know, kind of the global terrorist issue that were on right now. one thing i also want to point out, the way the president made the diversity visa program --...

Himself did not say enemy combatant. sarah sanders was asked and the president said he would consider sending him to guantanamo bay. youre on the record saying that is the wrong idea. >> you send him to guantanamo bay, you make him a hero or marter. even worse, you recognize some unconstitutional authority to strip people of their natural rights protected by the constitution.we dont do that in the united states of america. >> shepard: how do you try him? >> before a jury in lower manhattan in fe...
