Sen. Graham: 'We Are Not The SS, We Think Before We Kill'

"I've met the drone pilots.  We are an ethical military."

Outstanding clip.  At CPAC 2013 last weekend, WeAreChange follows, hassles and questions Senator Lindsey Graham on Obama's Disposition Matrix (kill list), indefinite detention provisions of the NDAA and drone strikes on U.S. citizens.

• Obama Killed A 16-Year-Old American And Didn't Say Anything About It
• WHOM CAN THE PRESIDENT KILL? - New Yorker

About a third of the way into in a Department of Justice white paper explaining why and when the President can kill American citizens, there is a citation that should give a reader pause.  It comes in a section in which the author of the document, which was given to members of the Senate Intelligence and Judiciary committees last year—and obtained by Michael Isikoff, of NBC, on Monday—says that this power extends into every country in the world other than the United States, well beyond those where we are engaged in hostilities.

The reference is to an address that John R. Stevenson, a State Department legal adviser, gave before the Association of the Bar in New York in May, 1970, to justify the Nixon Administration’s incursion into Cambodia.  Does that make everyone, or anyone, feel better about what the Obama Administration has decided it can do, or the extent to which it thought through the implications, unintended consequences, precedents, and random reckless damage it may be delivering with this policy?

Congress must have radically changed its

looking.

I never noticed the vote and charter change
in favor of stupid fascist lunatics.

Oh, I say clean house. Mayors Quan/Bloomberg
should be challenged for denial of the right of assembly.
The latter should enjoy his billions, go back to financial
publishing, or pursue his natural calling: officer of
occupation, maybe in, oh, Iraq.

Justice Department Opens Civil Rights Case Against Morgan Stanley, J.P. Morgan Over Military Foreclosures

I had forgotten about this investigation.

[S. Gompers]

Actually the S.S. thought a lot about it as well, wrote procedures, propaganda, and everything...

WE ARE NOT AT WAR!!!!! It's being used to justify all of this, but it's not true. I wish someone would call him on that.

[Superman]

I agree Adam. They need to ask these people what country we are at war with! Sooner or later, the police in the USA will start using the phrase, "we are at war" to justify their abuse of power, then all hell will break loose.

MSNBC slanders WeAreChange

http://wearechange.org/msnbc-slanders-wearechange-labels-us-a-right-wing-extremist-group/

Because MSNBC can't handle the truth about Obama and automatically thinks any criticism must be coming from extremists.

BTW, Lindsey we are not involved in any legally declared wars. Hopefully your name is on the re-election kill list.
