Quote:"This is a chilling document," said Jameel Jaffer, deputy legal director of the ACLU, which is suing to obtain administration memos about the targeted killing of Americans. "Basically, it argues that the government has the right to carry out the extrajudicial killing of an American citizen. … It recognizes some limits on the authority it sets out, but the limits are elastic and vaguely defined, and it's easy to see how they could be manipulated."
The ACLU should cut the crap.
This memo does not provide any meaningful limits on the US government's self-proclaimed right to murder anyone - asian, black, caucasian, hispanic - at any time, any place.
Quote:"A lawful killing in self-defense is not an assassination," the white paper reads.
Let me fix that quote.
Drone killing by remote control on the authorisation of a high-level government official in the absence of evidence being heard by a court of law is murder.
Unlawful killing with malice aforethought.
MURDER.
