Newt Gingrich: “He’s not a terrorist suspect, he’s a person who was found guilty under review of actively seeking the death of Americans.”
Moderator: “Not found guilty by a court, sir.”
Gingrich: “He was found guilty by a panel that looked at it and reported to the president.”
Moderator: “That’s extra-judicial, it’s not the rule of law.”
Gingrich: “It is the rule of law, that is explicitly false. It is the rule of law. If you engage in war against the United States, you are an enemy combatant. You have none of the civil liberties of the United States, you cannot go to court.”
