Even if there is a secret kill list we don't have worry if we haven't done anything wrong. 
I guess it maybe is not so secret.
Or maybe it's just somebody making shit up.
But who's to know the difference?
Should I be looking for drones under my bed? I know I have dust bunnies under there, so it wouldn't surprise me.
And the big power line in my front yard has a helicopter fly down it twice a month, which is a rare thing here in the national forest unless you're growing pot, or you live next to a big assed power line. Frankly, the power company could save a lot of money by ditching that copter and using a unmanned drone. The insurance costs alone would likely save a bundle, let alone the fuel. Alas, that's the price we pay for reliable electric service out here in the bush. At least I am an owner. It's a CO-OP electric company. And I don't mind the twice monthly overflights as long as the damned 220KVolt lines stay up on the towers and not in my yard. Maybe I ought to suggest that they enlist some high school students building them a drone to do the same as their twice monthly copter. Might be a good savings on everybody's bill.
As always, thanks for your posts. They are high quality.
Kill list story is over a year old. 
I don't remember.
to Bimbo eruptions in the Clinton era, a couple of the more famous eruptees being Paula Jones and Gennifer Flowers. So bimbo alerts made you want to turn of the TV and listen to music instead of NPR for a week or two.
Back in the day. . . . 
better not go there tho . . . 
Is that the connections between these two is at the very least troubling.
Care to look into those history books and how kill lists and state surveillance were connected....have been connected?
"Those who don't learn from history are condemned to repeat it" or words to that effect from Santayana apply here.
Hey, at least one of those regimes, and trust me, it wasn't just one, burned books. These days we don't have to worry...willful ignorance makes burning books not necessary.
And before you scream nazi, I said one of many. You think only the Nazis did that? The soviets, Pinochet Chile, Argentina, Spain, the Killing fields, the Great Leap Forward, central America in the 1980s...and those are just the tip of that...
I know I know, it's legal (a disgusting talking point on it's own) and this could never happen here....
in 3 easy steps:
1- The first step is to admit that leftist pundits so reliable we can set our watches by them if we still wore watches are as full of baloney as Rush, Billo and Glenn. Glenn B that is.
2 - The next step is to realize that the only way to know what's actually going on after reading or hearing the news is to come here and check ProSense's threads. Well there are other ways I suppose but that's a good short cut.
3 - The last step is to figure out how to stop worrying and love DU without getting pissed off by certain other prominent threads and that one I'm still working on but I think we're all making progress so life is good.
I only remember the funny names like Yellowcake and mobile germ lab. The others I need to look up.
The one that launched a thousand chips, so to speak. 
p.s. welcome!
Apparently if a story is more than a week old it is a non story.
Look forward...
(One of these days I expect a real memory hole)

"A Pulitzer Prize–winning reporter’s riveting account of the transformation of the CIA and America’s special operations forces into man-hunting and killing machines in the world’s dark spaces: the new American way of war
The most momentous change in American warfare over the past decade has taken place away from the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq, in the corners of the world where large armies can’t go. The Way of the Knife is the untold story of that shadow war: a campaign that has blurred the lines between soldiers and spies and lowered the bar for waging war across the globe. America has pursued its enemies with killer drones and special operations troops; trained privateers for assassination missions and used them to set up clandestine spying networks; and relied on mercurial dictators, untrustworthy foreign intelligence services, and proxy armies.
This new approach to war has been embraced by Washington as a lower risk, lower cost alternative to the messy wars of occupation and has been championed as a clean and surgical way of conflict. But the knife has created enemies just as it has killed them. It has fomented resentments among allies, fueled instability, and created new weapons unbound by the normal rules of accountability during wartime."
