letters of marque and reprisal

Mike Lee details the sort of candidate he is looking for, and believes the base should demand. He also mentions letters of marque and reprisal as his favorite power. :D

ALWAYS, remember to mention that Dr.Paul was one of the few in Congress who wanted to get OBL and those who attacked us on 9/11 by this method of Letter of Marque and Reprisal, which could have been much more efficient - less costly in finances and human lives and without creating so many new...

Paul's performance in South Carolina underscored the limitations of his message with Republican voters, who share many of Paul's views on cutting taxes and spending but have yet to embrace his largely isolationist foreign policy positions.

For those of you struggling to answer the questions from neo-cons regarding Dr. Paul's foreign policy, look at this description, originally published in the Eau Claire Journal: Targeting Bin Laden Constitutionally: Letters of Marque and Reprisal The killing of Osama Bin Laden by a team of Navy...

There was a 25 million bounty on OBL, so was that the same as marque and reprisal? If so does that make the killing legal?

It would've been a hell of a lot cheaper: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h107-3076&tab=summary

I understand the basic gist of the L of M&R. They should have been issued to go after Al-Qaeda after 9-11, and would enabled us to see out those responsible for the attacks without declaring war (well...) against a whole foreign nation. However, there's one thing I don't understand. What are...

Here's an article that demonstrates why Letters of Marque and Retrieval would likely have worked so well after 9/11. For a bounty, a hacker uncovered three major security bugs in new browsers...

What exactly is this? It sounds like the US placing a (reward less) bounty on a certain person for the rest of the world to capture, based on what I read on Wikipedia. Is this right?

I have been trying to get a better handle on this ever since I heard Paul bring it up on an NPR interview prior to his rally here in Seattle. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_of_marque I think Paul needs to explain and emphasize this much more, and how he envisions using it in the war on...
