In reply to the discussion: Report: Obama Personally Oversees Al-Qaeda ‘Kill List’ [View all]EFerrari
(163,986 posts)This is not about capture or kill orders. This is about the same Cheney assassination program that DU excoriated from one end of this forum to the other when Dick Cheney was doing it.
This is about the federal government playing judge, jury and executioner and claiming it has no obligation to supply any court anywhere with evidence or rationale for its killing. Clinton issued capture or kill orders but he never claimed he didn't have to account for them. And of course, I won't compare Obama to Dick Cheney, this is an election year.
Maybe you have been living under a rock because no president before Obama has claimed he can order anyone killed at any time any where without having to account for it in a court of law. Even Bush got lawyers to fake an argument for him.
If you want to support that, do it.
