I have a problem with killing US Citizens without due process.

Actually, yes, some SERIOUS problems, in that fedgov will NOT RESTRAIN ITSELF and limit targets to what they SHOULD be. They are all too willing to obey Obummer and spy on/target/kill because HE said so. Because his targeting list supercedes the clear language of the Constitution and other, legitimate laws of the Land.

Better question would be: why don’t you HAVE a problem with it???!!!???

Problem? Naw! Just go around killing Americans who fit a certain profile. Most of them are likely to be guilty of something.

And you guys thought those of us in the US had it bad living with this pack of scoundrels and thieves in DC. The poor foreigners have hellfire missiles raining down on them. No wonder Russia is jamming the GPS over their land. Expect the rest of the civilized world to follow.

Is there anything to prevent employers from deciding not to give you a job or fire you because of what they learn about you from analyzing metadata?

Might insurance companies raise your rates or not insure you because of what metadata tells them about you (e.g., he buys a six pack of bud every few days at the supermarket, so he’s a high drunk driving risk)?

Might banks charge more to loan you money, or not loan you money at all based on what they find out about you?

Only the hundreds of innocents who were murdered because your leader, the Great Emperor Zero, decided to fire hell fire missiles even though innocent civilians were present. GWB never okay-ed that kind of drone firing.

“The targets were killed because they’re terrorists.

The way you stop terrorists from finding a safe place to hide is to harm or kill those providing safe haven and protection to the terrorists.

This is how the U.S. has always dealt with pirates. It is appropriate for us to deal with terrorists in the same manner.

Does anyone have a problem with this?”

Evidently, a fair number of forum members have qualms.

First, win the war. Then, worry about morality.

Anybody who believes it’s more important to be moral, than to win, has it backwards.

If we don’t win the war, it doesn’t matter if we’ve been moral or not. Because we won’t survive long enough to be moral, or immoral, or anything.

You have to admit, the question was a bit vague. He didn’t even say if the American was a republican or democrat.

First time I’ve seen the reverse misspelling of the word your.
You’re like one in a trillion.

The old expression was: “Stop! You’re killing me!” Usually told in the context of joke-telling.

Now the expression will become: “Stop the metadata! Obama is trying to kill me.” Told in the context of murderous Federal Oppression.
