If I had to choose between Assange and Obama having the power to assassinate for national security, I'd go with Obama.

Anyone on our side who thinks this little Peter Pan is a hero needs their head examined.

If Obama assumed the authority to kill people on a whim, you can bet that Pelosi would feel justified in having her own separate hit squad too.

How far down the path of having an unaccountable government would you go? Locking up people indefinitely without a trial if they would try to expose assassinations done just for political purposes? Putting a bullet in the back of their heads just on suspicion? Doing away with elections to avoid the risk of a subsequent administration exposing unjustified assassinations?
