(4,015 posts)It think you'd better follow the question of who exactly we're picking off over there and how those picked off on feel about it.
This administration, exactly like the last one, counts on the ignorance of the American people. The only difference is that there is no excuse anymore to being totally uninformed as to our assassination campaigns in FATA, Jemen, Somalia (and god knows where else).
I do not believe that any of these strikes would stand judicial review. I don't even believe that they have a firm grasp on who they're killing - as far as the picture presents itself, it's just a free for all in which CIA and private contractor paint targets which someone in Washington randomly approves. "Signature Strikes", as Obama has come to call them, are evidence of that.
If this were any other country, at any other time in history, we'd be unilaterally condemning this star-chamberism.
