How interesting that at the same time the gun-grabbing government is gearing up to disarm the law-abiding citizens of this country they are also busy conducting secret killings and ramping up their ability to kill people, including American citizens, in high-tech ways with no trial, no jury.
“are on foreign soil and conducting terrorist operations or supporting terrorist activities “
Yep that would be the best of a worst case, going after US citizen al Quaeda members in Yemen.
I don’t think a citizen gives up his rights to a speedy trial with a jury of his peers just because he’s in France when the drone targets him, but I am not a lawyer.
There was once an EO directing the CIA and other similar agencies to not do assassinations. Singling someone out who is not actively engaged in combat and killing them is assassination, in my book, and doing that to a US citizen needs some close scrutiny.
Killing someone on US soil because they are in the way of some administration goal or if someone “thinks” the target is a troublemaker is just wrong, which is why I think someone with the correct clearance needs to look at who is being assassinated and where.
Is this Operation Blackbriar? Where is Jason Bourne?
