Dead Men Tell No Tales: The CIA, 9/11 and the Awlaki Assassination
This of course begs the question: if Awlaki's murder was "legal," why then was the authorization to do so reached in camera by officials following a deliberative process which can't be shared with the public because of "national security"?

The answer should be chilling and shocking to all Americans: because the nucleus of a death squad state recalling those stood-up in Chile and Argentina during the "dirty war" period of the 1970s may now exist.

Reuters disclosed that Americans "are placed on a kill or capture list by a secretive panel of senior government officials, which then informs the president of its decisions, according to officials."

"There is no public record of the operations or decisions of the panel," reporter Mark Hosenball wrote, "which is a subset of the White House's National Security Council. ... Neither is there any law establishing its existence or setting out the rules by which it is supposed to operate."

1. Uncanny.
I was just reading that a few minutes ago and debating whether to post it. There's quite a chronology of revelations in there the msm hasn't been very interested in. At all.

2. So now we can be killed because, "rule of law and due process" have become a "hassle"?
All we need to know. It gets a bit scarier to be in the country with each passing week.

Are we now allowed to break the 'sacred' "Goodwin's Law" without being ridiculed?

Occupy.

Thanks JohnyC.

5. Short Answer: It Wasn't Legal
and it never will be. But they did it anyway. And they fully intend to do it again, until this illegal regime is overthrown by whatever means necessary, and all the traitors and war criminals are prosecuted for their crimes against the nation and humanity.

6. It's irrelevant that it was Obama as CIC. Imagine Cheney, Bush,
McCain, or (gasp!) Palin deciding who's on the assassination list.

7. Yes, it seems these enemies of the state are either killed or ghosts.
Both very convenient lest they either don't exist to begin with or have their own truth to tell.
How many purported terrorists have actually been captured alive and given a trial?
