Could Prove To Be Interesting

ACLU is bringing a case to court about the US Government's ability to kill terrorists anywhere we want.

Much more so than the torture issue, this gets at a core question of American political philosophy. How comfortable are we - as a country - giving our military or spy services the power to clandestinely kill people anywhere and everywhere? Obviously, in this age of terrorism, where Al Queda openly makes the entire world a battleground, there are reasons for allowing such a law. But if anything ought to give you the heebie-jeebies, it is state-sanctioned murder without trial or burden of proof or any boundaries or checks and balances.

One needn't be soft on terror or a stupid moon-bat liberal to be concerned with this much unchecked government power.
