The Justice Department’s chilling
‘targeted killings’ memo

Washington Post, by James Downie

Original Article

Posted By:Dreadnought, 2/5/2013 9:35:50 PM

On Monday night, NBC News’s Michael Isikoff published a Justice Department memo justifying the “targeted killings” — without due process — of U.S. citizens who are leaders in al-Qaeda or “associated forces” but are “outside the area of hostile activities,” such as Afghanistan. The document is based on a still-classified memo on targeted killings of U.S. citizens prepared by the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel. The summary memo is a chilling document, full of twisted definitions, gaping loopholes and hints that the White House still isn’t sharing its full justification for killing citizens

The WH is probably going to start (continue??) bombing US embassies - targeting their own State Dept. employees.

Is the Washington Post finally starting to get that Barack Obama is not what they thought he was. The man is a megalomanic psychopath who is willing to destroy this country in a vain attempt to set up a form of government that has proven time and time again not to work!

Impeach him now, remove him from office and save this country from his insane plans!

When you have criminals running the White House and DOJ, how can anything be criminal?

Incredible. The law is what we say it is and there´s no appropriate forum for review.

Obama´s unconstitutional acts aren´t subject to judicial review and even if they were,they´d wind up on the desk of Sotomayor or Kagan,two loyal Obama hacks.

There can´t be more than a small handful of Americans working with alqueda,at least on the ground in other countries. However I´ll bet there´s quite a few working with alqueda and other radical splinter groups in the state dept,including Hillary before she left.

The state dept. is replete with career america haters who have gotten a golden opportunity to undermine the country with obama in charge.

I think the whole wikileaks operation was done with the cooperation of high ranking state dept. people hoping to expose dirt on something Bush did wrong. After pouring through countless cables,they couldn´t find anything and wikileaks became old news.

I consider it an act of war so have no problem with it. Obama and his administration are at war and are hypocrites for not saying so.

Poster #1 makes a point.

Is the non-response and the subsequent lack of interest in the Benghazi issue because it´s another type of rogue ´Fast & Furious´ action in the middle east?

“associated forces” but are “outside the area of hostile activities,”
So, this could mean a TEA party meeting, or a rally of Oath Keepers or even the Salvation ARMY ?
Overly broad..proof that this government cannot be trusted.

Makes Benghazi a little clearer. They were expendable. This regime is on the verge of ruthlessness and it will be lethal and legal.

I am beginning to have a really sick feeling that the psychopath in the WH might actually get off on killing people. I will never, ever, forget the night of the 2008 election when the creep summarily dismissed his wife and children from the stage so he could stand--ALONE--and bask in THE GLORY THAT IS BARACK OBAMA, before his adoring minions. After that, isn´t having complete carte blance to kill whomever you want just the logical next step? Talk about "malignant narcissism"! God help us all.

If you put any value on Ulsterman and the ´White House Insider´, Tin Pot (love that term!) gets off on watching the vids of the drone kills, especially when women and children are snuffed. And the drones get smaller and smaller...

Sorry if I sound paranoid, but to me it´s only a matter of time before certain dissenters and criticizers of the current regime in the US and internationally mysteriously turn up dead on short walks for ice cream, or walking alongside mysteriously exploded cars or post boxes. If I were Ted Cruz or Rand Paul, I´d be most cautious indeed.

I have a question for you all to quietly consider to yourselves.

You all should know by now that NBC is amongst the besf known state run media, it´s the top of the list. WaPo runs in a close second.

Do you honestly think for a moment that NBC or WaPo would betray Dear Leader and leak anything?

Think carefully before you answer.

It was a planned release. Now. Ask yourselves, why? Why would Droner in Cheif leak on himself? Read between the lines.

Fear and control. More divide and conquer. The left and progressives whine, "If you are doing nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear."

Really? Prove it. Because, from where the sane half or so of this country stands, there are no longer any rules, and everything is upside down. What was wrong now seems right, and what was right now makes a civilian a terrorist.

Now. Was it a leak? No. It was a planned assault on our senses. It worked.

RALEIGH, N.C. — Backed by throngs of chanting supporters, dozens of liberal demonstrators are subjecting themselves to arrest each Monday at the state legislature here to protest a flurry of bills that could transform North Carolina into a model of conservative governance. The state’s hard turn to the right comes less than five years after people took to the streets here to celebrate the 2008 victory of Barack Obama, the first Democratic presidential candidate to capture the state since Jimmy Carter in 1976. The win prompted Obama’s supporters to crow about the growing influence of progressive

BEIRUT — The leader of the Lebanese Shiite militant group Hezbollah on Saturday defiantly defended sending his fighters to support President Bashar al-Assad’s army in neighboring Syria and proclaimed that they would be victorious. Hasan Nasrallah’s televised address provided the clearest public acknowledgment to date that his men are fighting alongside Assad’s troops and will continue to do so. As he spoke, Hezbollah and government forces were escalating an assault on the strategically important Syrian town of Qusair. A staunch ally of Iran as well as Assad, Hezbollah has deepened its involvement in Syria’s two-year-old civil war in recent weeks

UPDATE: Perry responds to SB 346 veto: “Freedom of association and freedom of speech are two of our most important rights enshrined in the Constitution. My fear is that SB 346 would have a chilling effect on both of those rights in our democratic political process. While regulation is necessary in the administration of Texas political finance laws, no regulation is tolerable that puts anyone’s participation at risk or that can be used by any government, organization or individual to intimidate those who choose to participate in our process through financial means.

The latest reporting in the matter of Fox News Channel’s James Rosen indicates the Obama administration fought to keep the search warrant for Rosen’s private email account secret, arguing that the government might need to monitor the account for a lengthy period of time. Thank you, Ryan Lizza. And one more thing. Despite Eric Holder’s his protestations of ignorance regarding the Rosen matter, NBC reports that Holder himself authorized the warrant application. Hmmm. Does that mean he might not have been entirely forthcoming about the matter in his testimony

WASHINGTON — Haynes Johnson, a pioneering Washington journalist who won a Pulitzer Prize for his coverage of the civil rights movement and migrated from newspapers to television, books and teaching, died Friday. He was 81. The Washington Post reported he died at Suburban Hospital in Bethesda, Md. In a statement to the Post newsroom, Managing Editor Kevin Merida said Johnson died of a heart attack. Johnson was awarded a Pulitzer in 1966 for national reporting on the civil rights struggle in Selma, Ala., while with The Evening Star in Washington. He spent

The FBI has arrested a San Antonio man on charges he lied to get into the United States and tried to get a sensitive Defense Department position. Wissam Allouche, 44, appeared for an initial hearing Friday afternoon, and shook his head when U.S. Magistrate Judge Henry Bemporad read the charges leveled in a federal indictment. The judge ordered him held pending a bail hearing and his arraignment Tuesday. “He allegedly tried to cover up his affiliation with Hezbollah,” said special agent Erik Vasys, spokesman for the FBI in San Antonio. “It is believed

A FREE press in a democracy demands a delicate balance. The First Amendment means the media must have the right to inquire without hindrance. The government has a legitimate interest in keeping some national security information secret. When these come into conflict, the balance often has been struck this way: The media are free to pursue secrets, but it is up to those in government to keep them. When the media come into possession of information that, if disclosed, could be damaging, the government can plead the case for secrecy — and the media generally are open to persuasion.

Washington rumor has it that Obama wants to be U.N. Secretary General. There are several reasons that make that likely, and if it´s true, it throws new light on a lot of Obama´s oddities -- including his Royalty Bows, his Apology Tours, his Muslim Sellout, and the Benghazi Cover-Up. But first -- why would Obama be planning to become the chief of the U.N. before he has even finished his second term?

On Wednesday, Drummer Lee Rigby of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, a man who had served Queen and country honorably in the hell of Helmand Province in Afghanistan, emerged from his barracks on Wellington Street, named after the Duke thereof, in southeast London. Minutes later, he was hacked to death in broad daylight and in full view of onlookers by two men with machetes who crowed "Allahu Akbar!" as they dumped his carcass in the middle of the street like so much roadkill. As grotesque as this act of savagery was, the aftermath was even more unsettling

WASHINGTON —In a dramatic departure from existing White House procedures, President Obama requested today that his staff start cc’ing him on stuff. “Look, I know a lot of you think I’m really busy and you don’t want to bother me,” the President reportedly told his staff in an Oval Office meeting. “But cc me anyway. It’s good for me to keep up on what’s going on around here.” “It’s not good when I turn on the news and they’re talking about something at the White House and I’m like, whoa, when did that happen?”

Abuse Of Power: Any scandal investigation that expects a "Eureka!" moment, a White House e-mail, or Oval Office smoking gun will be misguided. In fact, the dots are already connected directly to the president. Barack Obama is not foolish enough to have a tape recording system hidden in his desk. And his administration staff are not careless enough to send one another incriminating e-mails. If the president was behind the IRS unlawfully harassing conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status, we can be sure the communications were all sotto voce and in persona, like any good Chicago political operator.

A Washington state Democrat is accusing Republicans of “throwing American infrastructure … under the bus” after a bridge collapse there this week. The portion of Interstate 5 in Washington that runs over the Skagit River collapsed on Thursday after a truck hit an overhead support structure, but Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.) cited the incident in an interview as proof Republicans were blocking infrastructure investment to hurt President Obama politically. “Well, they have clearly spent the whole last five years trying to tear the president down, but they have done it by throwing the American infrastructure and
