As you know I am about as far as one can get from being a liberal but this authority resting solely in the President's hands is Unconstitutional because he has authority to use it on more than just the battlefield. Its too broad and appears to set no good guidelines or limitations necessary to prevent ABUSE!!--Tyr

Letting them hide by choosing the "wrong" location, is equivalent to giving up. It's a ludicrous suggestion.
Do you think WAR is a place for niceties and parlor games, played with an enemy when he is actively trying to kill you?
I am talking purely about the need to limit the authority as it is defined now not the general application of how its applied to terrorists be they abroad or here in country. As it is written it is Unconstitutional in m opinion. The fact that its so broad ---gives almost limitless power , ripe for abuse and that is Unconstitutional. -Tyr
