Re: Can U.S. legally kill a citizen overseas

Feel free to say I live in la-la land, but I have to agree with Ron Paul and Michael Savage on this one. Think it violates the costitution and US laws. Assassination of a US citizen by government officials sworn to uphold and protect the constitution, no matter how much of a slimy dirtbag the guy was, isn't a good thing. In a way, those knuckle dragging Muslim throwbacks from the 10th Century have already won at least a partial victory. They've gotten us to change the nature of our very country in the name of "safety". Assasination of American citizens, forcable groping to fly on an airplane, warrantless searches and wiretaps, secret lists that one can wind up on with no explanation why and no way to get off, etc. I don't think any of us would have beleived we could slip so far in such a short period of time.

If even half of what the goverment says the guy was involved in is true (and I'm not sure I trust our Government that much), I'm glad the guy is dead. Hell, if even a tenth of it is true, he deserved a much worse death than he got. However, it appears our government has crossed one more line, and a bit of America died with him.

When we violate that which sets us apart from the rest of the world, even if it's a small bit at a time, we become less special and more like the countries we and or our ancestors came here to escape from.
