We've come a LONG way in a short time. From a little unconstitutional spying, to indefinate defention without a trial, to torture, to this.

Murdering anyone, anywhere, including Americans, with no judicial oversight, no review, no questions allowed. Just well-intentioned government officials deciding who will live and who will die. And a death sentence not just for you, but for anyone around you. Your wife and children, the neighbors, the girls scout delivering terrorism cookies, it's all good.

That's where we are today and a whole bunch of people are totally cool with it. But it won't stop there. The people defending this today KNOW it won't stop there. And if it doesn't stop there, and of course it wont...

What's next?
