When he decided he could circumvent the ''due process clause'' of the Constitution and kill an American citizen (and his minor son -- several days later) using in-house legal memos as his cover.
- Everyone should have realized in that moment, that we are all at risk. If you still don't see it, you're living in a fantasy world.......
