This is the Rubicon. They are not just talking about detaining us without charges and without our rights now. They are talking about killing us. Obama making this public shows it clearly for what it is: a gauntlet.
Obama Targets US Citizen for 'Kill or Capture': (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2010/4/12/856579/-Star-Chamber-Nation:-Obama-Targets-US-Citizen-for-Assassination)
The Obama Administration has authorised the targeted killing of an American citizen, Anwar al-Awlaki, in what is believed to be an unprecedented move in the War against Terror.
The UK Times reports: (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article7089899.ece#cid=OTC-RSS&attr=797093)
The decision is extraordinary not only because Mr al-Awlaki is believed to be the first American whose killing has been approved by a US President, but also because the Obama Administration chose to make the move public.
If we are not going to impeach a president over this, then what?
The man's parent's are maintaining that he is innocent, not a threat, (perhaps delusional or mentally ill?) and are frantically trying to get someone in the administration to listen to them.
To bring this to an even bigger head of steam, ex-Bush official Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, chief of staff to former Secretary of State Colin Powell, has just said he will testify (http://www.truthout.org/wilkerson-cheney-bush-aware-guantamamo-detainees-were-innocent58446) that Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld knew the "vast majority" of prisoners captured in the so-called War on Terror were innocent and the administration refused to set them free because of the political repercussions that would have ensued.
God help our republic.
Listen to the arrogance in this federal official's voice:
“Al-Awlaki is a proven threat,” one US official said. “He’s been targeted.”
The official forgets one thing. In America, guilt is shown only in a court of law, not a bureaucrat's office.
Of course the government doesn't lie. Brandon Mayfield, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandon_Mayfield) an attorney charged with terrorism, would still be rotting in jail if the Spanish government itself hadn't stepped in and said they had the wrong guy. The feds acccused him in the Madrid bombings and said the fingerprint was "100% verified." But Judge Ann Aiken's said afterwards the information was largely "fabricated and concocted by the FBI and DOJ."
Or try Louis Greco in Boston (http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2003806833_webwrongful26.html) who spent 15 years in jail and died there for a crime he did not commit, whose family was awarded part of a $100 million settlement last year. Greco was a World War II double Bronze Star, framed for murder. Judge Nancy Gertner said the FBI "encouraged perjury, and helped frame" four men for murder in the largest settlement in history.
The government contends that at this moment the American citizen is out planning a dastardly attack for our demise. One question: Why should we believe it? It's not hard to see where this is heading. In the War on Terror the entire world is the "battlefield," including domestic soil. The definition of the "battlefield" has become meaningless. It's the "battlefield" if you are sleeping in a motel bed before the drone missile strikes. This could come in handy when a pesky reporter about to break open the new ENRON. If they can rob us blind in broad daylight, think of what they can do with no whistleblowers to worry about. Best of all, it will be completely legal, as long as one is declared "terrorist." No future prosecutions by do-gooder administrations to worry about, either.
Oh a tyrant's dream...
This power will be passed down to all future presidents, a Palin, a Romney, a Hillary Clinton, if we do not bring this to a loud and screeching halt now..
This is not left or right. The time has arrived, and history will not forgive us. Make their phones ring off the hook, slam their in-boxes.
The irony? The Bill of Rights is a 911 end-game target. IF Mossad was behind 9/11, as Army War College Professor Alan Sabrosky (http://theuglytruth.podbean.com/2010/03/14/the-ugly-truth-podcast-march-15-2010/)contends [here too] (http://www.veteranstoday.com/2010/03/19/22329/), along with its dual-citizen and American helpers, then Israeli citizens now have more rights in their country than we do in ours. The Mossad cannot target Israeli citizens for extra-judicial execution. It is we Americans who have become no more than cattle to be slaughtered at will.
