an executive order to seek out and eliminate a specific person and not ONCE in that segment did i hear either olbermann or rice use the correct term:
ASSASINATION.
because that is exactly what they are talking about.

Its wrong to assasinate a man whose guilt cant be determined...... because hes American... Nobody blinks

lol this seems to be more about American nationalism than reason.

I fail to see how the bad guys natoinality evan comes into it , fact is the world is way more interconected now than it ever has been and natoins more and more are just becoming arbitrary lumps of rock that people happen to be standing on at any given point in time.

all that's important is that this guy is supposedly a criminal and shouold be treeted as such , but that should be the case for annyone amercan or not.

Its quite amusing how amercans in general hold themselves so high , when there midea spews nationalist idiocy all the time.

So what happens if they find this guy sleeping in a house in Yemen, far from any battlefield? Just shoot him in the back of the head, then and there, and be done with it? It sounds from the way this story is presented that the kill order extends to any circumstances which is disturbing for a number of reasons, one of which is the precedent. Then again, between this story, the gunship camera, and the video of the British Gitmo detainee interviews all being sifted within one week of each other, at least we seem to be consistent in denying due process or being quick to kill rather than detain, no matter the citizenship status or innocence/guilt of the people involved.

Did anyone else think that Jack's grin right after the footage of the bombing was disconcerting?

Welcome to the Patriot Act.

yes, they are talking about the targeted killing of US citizens if they are associated with Al-Qaeda. This isn't late breaking news really, about a month old.

This has to be stopped now or it will be to late; Defecation will be impacting the reoscillator.
