Reply #81: You are assuming I agreed with Clinton bombing other countries.

In the case of OBL however, there were different circumstances and they in no way compare to the case of Awlaqi. If you want to argue about Clinton's justification, we can do that. But it will not have any relationship to this case.

Cheney is asking Obama to apologize to him. He is using Obama's adaptation of Bush's policies against him. This is one of the dangers of supporting anything put in place by the Bush administration. It undermines our claims that Bush was a war criminal and a destroyer of the Constitution. We expected these policies to be rescinded when we elected Democrats and one day they will be. No democracy can be sustained under such policies and still call itself a democracy.

I already read your detailed response and commented on it. It sounds very much like the Bush administration's defense of its own policies, they 'consulted with lawyers etc etc.' Again, you have not answered the question. Were you opposed to the ACLU's position on the Bush claim that the POTUS has the power to kill a US citizen when Bush was president. It's a simple question, no need for long detailed responses.

I will answer it simply. Yes, I agreed with them then, and I agree with them now.

What was your position back then? A simple yes or no will do.
