Did the government use signals intelligence to track down and murder people without trial or due process? I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised. Let's find out. The White House and the intelligence community sure as hell aren't going to just come out and tell us in a press packet. So we need journalists to find out. Did it happen? If it did, who authorized/ordered it? What legal justification was used? How many people are on this list of targets? Is this how they found and killed Anwar al-Awlaki? None of these questions will be answered voluntarily. So we need people like Greenwald to find out the answers for us. This is not about your or anyone else's personal life. This is about how far into illegality/unconstitutional activity they have gone.
