Obama Can Kill Anyone He Wants To

By Robert Dreyfuss

American citizens are supposed to have legal and civil rights that protect them from political or prosecutorial assassinations, even if they are bad guys. Apparently, no longer.

A Terrifying Precedent

By Michael Ratner

The law on the use of lethal force by executive order is specific. This assassination broke it - that creates a terrifying precedent.

ACLU Comment on New York Times Article on Killing of Anwar Al-Aulaqi

This is the latest in a series of one-sided, selective disclosures that prevent meaningful public debate and legal or even political accountability for the government s killing program, including its use against citizens.

Weighing the Cost, Building Resistance

Nancy Murray and Kade Crockford, Truthout and ACLU Massachusetts: 'What does it mean to 'feel American' these days? After a decade of the relentless drumbeat warning us to be alert to the terrorist threat, the refrain that this is 'the land of the free, home of the brave' is ringing increasingly hollow.... Have we entirely lost sight of the notion that 'national security' should include securing those attributes that we have long claimed define us as a people, including the fundamental rights and protections of our constitutional system?'

Judging a Long, Deadly Reach

Scott Shane, The New York Times News Service: 'The killing of Anwar al-Awlaki, an American citizen struck on Friday by a missile fired from a drone aircraft operated by his own government, instantly reignited a difficult debate over terrorism, civil liberties and the law.... A range of civil libertarians ... questioned how the government could take an American citizen s life based on secret intelligence and without a trial.... killing him amounted to summary execution without the due process of law guaranteed by the Constitution.'

Assassins of liberty

The assassination of Anwar al-Awlaki sets an important precedent, one that will go down in our history as a shameful moment, a turning point, when the policy of endless war empowered the President to kill his own countrymen without benefit of trial. Any American, whose 'preaching' purportedly 'inspires' a terrorist act is now fair game for our Praetorians...

Finding wisdom in the midst of tragedy

Independent Institute
by Elizabeth Bernard Higgs

09/28/11

The way to peace will never be through killing. The way to peace is mercy. The way to peace is the understanding that forgiving the sins of those who sin against you is a requirement for a civilized and peaceful world. If we, as a society, move too far away from this understanding, we will inevitably fall into barbarism. Is it already too late?

The perils of a killer president

Ilana Mercer Barely A Blog
by Ilana Mercer

09/30/11

Anwar al-Awlaki was terminated today in Yemen (in violation of that country s sovereignty). According to the say-so of U.S. officials, this American-born cleric is said to have 'played a 'significant operational role' in plotting and inspiring attacks on the United States.' Good enough evidence in the court of the imperial presidency and his adherents and architects (like Dick Cheney)...

Obama searches for monsters, Ron Paul rejects assassinating Americans

The Nation
by John Nichols

10/01/11

President Obama s authorization of the assassination of an American citizen, New Mexico-born Anwar al-Awlaki - in a drone attack that also killed American citizen Samir Khan, who was raised in New York City and North Carolina - drew high praise from execution-enthusiast Rick Perry, who congratulated Obama by name for 'getting another key terrorist.' But the bipartisan disregard for the Constitution and the rule of law stopped when Texas Congressman Ron Paul was asked about the air strike that on Friday killed the two Americans in Yemen...
