706. Some of Obama's policies exceed even Bush/Cheney's dreams
Whereas Bush/Cheney only got to kill foreigners, and had to have at least the appearance of validity (non-existent WMDs, a resolution passed by Congress), Obama has announced that he will assassinate an American citizen in a foreign land upon even the suspicion of being engaged in terrorist related activities.
Who gets to suggest to the president the names of those who should be killed? What are the standards? Is there oversight and accountability? All unknowns.
Why tell us about the policy in the first place? What was gained?
