The US should hire death squads to root out terrorists

Unfortunately my opponent forfeited the last round. However, after some discussion we decided that I can post another round and then he will rebut my arguments in the final round. In my first round argument I showed that major terrorist attacks by large organized groups could be avoided if death squads had been able to eliminate the major players as the links between them are undeniable. In this round I intend to expand on these cases and show that even in cases of so called lone wolf terrorism there is usually links that would make death squads able to snuff out these attacks. Before I get to lone wolf terrorism however I think it is interesting to point out another case of domestic terrorism. These are the events that transpired in Waco Texas. Now whether you believe David Koresh was a terrorist or not, certainly is up to debate. However, I will assert that he fits the mold of terrorist as even before the events at Waco in 1993 the FBI was worrying that he was involved in slavery and involuntary servitude of his followers.(1) The only way to keep a slave or put someone in a position of involuntary servitude is to use violence or threats of violence at a bare minimum. This surely then fits the definition of terrorism. Further, he (and his followers) were hoarding guns illegally which eventually resulted in the initial shooting which killed 6 Davidians and 4 agents (as well as 16 injured) and led to the Waco stand off.(2) The question (which conspiracy theorists ignore) should be raised why were they shooting at officials in the first place? Regardless this initial shooting, led to the standoff which resulted in the fire that killed 76 men, women and children. If however the death squad had moved in earlier and got rid of Koresh, this would never have happened. If we believe the ATF agents were trying to do this, then I think our definition of a death squad is very different. Truly a death squad would not have been seen coming they would have been in and out and left behind a dead Koresh and other fanatics allowing the safe removal of the endangered innocents. Now let me move on to the final point of my arguments and that is the lone wolf terrorist case. The most infamous lone wolf terrorist in US history is probably Timothy Mcveigh. However, Tim McVeigh did not operate alone there were at least 2 other people, Terry Nichols and Michael Fortier, involved with him and that is well documented.(3) There is even speculation of a link between the Aryn Resistance Army and McVeigh.(4) If this is true then a terrorist organization which would have been getting investigated potentially would have stopped the Oklahoma City Bombing which killed 168 people. Importantly, at this point I think it is also fair to point out that in the true sense of the word “lone wolf terrorism” can never be stopped as its a single person acting on their own. In this sense death squads would not be able to stop these people. However, to be realistic nothing and no organization would stop them. So having death squads in this view is mute. I raise this issue of lone wolf terrorism, as surely it will be a contention in my opponent arguments. In this debate I think I have sufficiently proven that if death squads were employed to take out terrorists that multiple terror attacks and countless deaths would have been avoided. This I have shown by illustrating the links that exist between terrorists. These links potentially exists even in the lone wolf terrorist cases. I now hand the debate over to my opponent for rebuttals. (1) http://vault.fbi.gov... (2) http://www.pbs.org... (3) http://law2.umkc.edu... (4) http://www.start.umd.edu...
