Freedom



The big news yesterday was the murder of two U.S. citizens by C.I.A. drones.
Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan were alleged to have been terrorists and working with al Qaeda to kill Americans.

Why do I say murder? They were NEVER charged with any crimes by any entity of the United States government. How is it acceptable to the American public that we kill two Americans who were never charged with a crime. This is a complete violation of any law, both U.S. and international. You do not have to like what they stood for but as American citizens they are still protected by the U.S. Constitution.
There are those minor things like due process and freedom of speech that they should have been afforded.

If President Bush had done this the outrage from the left would have been loud and yet we hear nothing from the left in this instance.

If they can kill U.S. citizens overseas than can do it here. Beware.

We are a sick nation who thrives on domination and death.

Americans are no longer safe anywhere ... from our own government. Anonymous killing has become so easy with tech. and patriot act.

Easy to kill when you do not have to look at the enemy.
