So, imagine that Bush is still President. The Times would be screaming for his head. The hyprocisy is stagering.

This move does bother me. Sounds like something the Russians would do.

Phlap ~: (from the title) ~ “When Can the U.S. Kill One of Its Own? “

When the President says so !!
After all that he has done , he has shown himself to be above the “Law of the Land”.
Who to complain to ? ... Holder ? /sarc

The US government targeting US citizens, targeting foreign nationals without a declaration of war, and violating national sovereignty is against everything I learned in school about our republic and our Constitution.

Each day our imperial President and our stupid, corrupt legislators strike another blow for tyranny.

How long will it be before some government hack decides to “off” an annoying fellow American by declaring that poor soul “an enemy of the state”?

Bottom line? As long as Obama is president it doesn’t matter. He can authorize the assasination of any American he wants, in any multiples he wants. The corrupt NYTimes and media will run interference for him.

We now have the tyranny our founding fathers warned us of.

***And does this deprive U.S. citizens of their constitutionally protected due process rights?***

Surely you jest.

The Consitution, and by extension our Bill of Rights, have been rendered meaningless for some time now.

I have it on good authority that George Soros and Warren Buffet are al-Qaeda operatives.

So, let's propose this scenario.

We now know that the CIA and other agencies monitor social media sites and likely other sites as well.

I post some comments that are misconstrued, intentionally or otherwise, by any one of these agencies.

As a result Holder now authorizes that drones equipped with infrared imaging and other high tech imaging scans my place of residence. Now, first off, who would even know that they are flying drones over my house scanning images and invading my civil liberties?

Second, what if they decide they find some image they don't know or like? Do I become the recipient of hellfire missiles? Does the SWAT team kick in my door, shoot my dog and ransack my house at 3 a.m.?

We are in the midst of tyranny.

Let's not forget that the Obama administration considers constitutionalists, veterans, Bitter Clingers and other conservatives all to be potential terror threats.

How soon before they decide they have the authority to start using drones to take out political enemies potential terror threats right here in Obama's 57 states?

We all know that once a leftist has the potential and the tools to do some skullduggery they cannot resist the urge to do it.

Exactly. So the answer to the question in the headline would be; "Anytime time they friggin want to."

After all...who would report on it with the Obama Regime in power? Who indeed?

They seem to use "Nothing to see here, move along" as their missive to all the Lefty Liberal MSM outlets.

“...it is lawful to kill a United States citizen if “an informed, high-level” government official decides that the target is a ranking Al Qaeda figure”.

...”high-level”? “informed”? “official”? According to whom? In what context? What amendment of the constitution allows this? They don’t get any more “high-level” than the president and HE’S not allowed to do this!

Evidently, the NY Times rewriting history again leaves out the fact that the US government has already murdered many of its own, e.g. WACO, Ruby Ridge, etc. What more proof of this out of control government does the NY Times need? I guess, if you have your head so far up the ass of this socialist fascist in support of his communist policies, one cannot see the truth, instead relies upon what is fed to the NY times and approved for release to the moochers in this Nation by this communist administration!

Eight Deuce on the loose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“When can the US kill one of its own?”

Apparently anytime Barrys says so.

It is o.k. for the President to order the assassination of U.S. citizens, just whatever you do don’t water board terrorists for information.

Stunning isn’t it? A few soldiers put some underwear on an Islamists head and we heard about it for months.
