Another example of the media's one being somewhat one sided.

Saw this in the Washington Post and found it interesting.

Cruz pushes to punish traitors

Effort to revoke citizenship of Americans who join Islamic State meets resistance

WASHINGTON — In light of intelligence reports that more than 100 Americans have signed on as fighters with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and other Republicans in Congress have launched legislation to revoke their passports and strip them of their U.S. citizenship.

But while the idea has found some surface appeal in Congress, it has run into some resistance in the intelligence community, where there’s
debate about whether that is the best way to gather information and combat terrorism.

While Cruz said “we should not permit them to return to America,” some analysts say that in at least some cases that’s exactly what we should do — in order to detain, interrogate or follow those bent on doing harm inside the United States.

“It reflects a broader debate with the intelligence community about whether it’s preferable to take direct action against a threat immediately or monitor that threat to see if it leads to other associated threats,” said James Phillips, a national security analyst at the Heritage Foundation. “One terrorist may lead to other terrorists.”...

A legitimate question, I agree. However, remember when we raided the compound and killed Osama bin Laden at approximately 400pm (Eastern US time) on Saturday, September 1, 2011. Per the book and movie Zero Dark Thirty, his room and compound were filled with computers and other information. That was invaluable intelligence that could have been better exploited if we had waited a couple of days before confirming to the world UBL was dead, but B Hussein Obama confirmed his death within 24 hours. But for some reason the Washington Post has no issue with the possible loss of intelligence there. Just saying.
