As promised, today in a speech at Northwestern University Law School in Chicago. Attorney General Eric Holder attempted to explain why targeted killings of American citizens is legal. And judging by the miserable standards of this pro-transparency administration whose president accepts transparency awards in secret, the speech was something like progress.
But really, it was mostly Holder saying no, we're allowed to do this if the threat is really, really serious and we can't capture the individuals. And don't worry, the government is carefully reviewing this....
The most frustrating part about this might just be how generous and transparent Obama's people think they are being by explaining this. But why bother with the speech at all if it's always going to come down to trust us, this is legal?

Isn't this the same exact same crap that the liberals went nuts over during the G.W. Bush administration, where are all the liberals on this one?
You would think a lot on the right that love military interventionism and other authoritarian measures would love the Obama administration, as he's done more of this kind of stuff than G.W. Bush ever did.
Instead of ending G.W. Bush's policies like Obama stated he would do, he's extended them and enhanced them, only beefing them up, and in reality, made them work better. Obama is a interventionists wet dream.
You should take note of this.
