I am basing this question on the recent Newsweek question:
Can the President Order a Killing on U.S. Soil?.
Feb. 13, 2006 issue - In the latest twist in the debate over presidential powers, a Justice Department official suggested that in certain circumstances, the president might have the power to order the killing of terrorist suspects inside the United States. Steven Bradbury, acting head of the department's Office of Legal Counsel, went to a closed-door Senate intelligence committee meeting last week to defend President George W. Bush's surveillance program.
During the briefing, said administration and Capitol Hill officials (who declined to be identified because the session was private), California Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein asked Bradbury questions about the extent of presidential powers to fight Al Qaeda; could Bush, for instance, order the killing of a Qaeda suspect known to be on U.S. soil? Bradbury replied that he believed Bush could indeed do this, at least in certain circumstances.
Never mind that Taps found clues, not Al Qaeda,
The National Security Agency's secret domestic spying hasn't nabbed any Al Qaeda agents in the U.S. since the Sept. 11 attacks, FBI Director Robert Mueller told Congress yesterday.
Mueller told the Senate Intelligence Committee that his agents get "a number of leads from the NSA," but he made it clear Osama Bin Laden's henchmen weren't at the end of the trail.
But they HAVE made progress
collecting "research" reports on direct-action environmental groups produced by right-wing think tanks. They spied on all of us to make these few little "clues".
So, really, just who, exactly, does Bush want to kill? That is the single question for this thread. Who will be labled a "terrorist" by King Bush and subsequently targeted for termination?
Team Bush, the GOP, and the Neocons are bent on killing LOTS of people and clearly don't want to be contrained by laws that govern you and me and pretty much the rest of Humanity. They have killed uncounted hunreds or thousands so far - and those are the ones we hear about. Mostly they have killed innocent Iraqis.
I am certain they have done the same in Afghanistan, but the American press cares even less about the lives and suffering of Afghani peoples. But from all the "precision bombing" that's be unleashed on Afghanistan, it's fair to expect a hefty body count of otherwise harmless, innocent civilians.
Now it seem Bush isn't satisfied with the death, destruction, and mayhem he's already created and needs to see killings here on US soil. And since he's now completely above the law, he wants to see this closer to home.
So who's on Geoge's "To DO" list? (You have to figure that the list already exists, or you haven't learned a thing about the workings of Team Bush.)
I figure Cindy Sheehan to be somewhere near the top of the list.
Dan Rather is probably on there, along with Walter Cronkite.
José Padilla?
You?
Me?
