I usually try to stay away from political comments but, I found the comment by the AG Holder very frightening. It was in reference to killing USA citizens overseas by Presidential decree. I think this is a clear violation of the 4th , 5th and other amendments that I'm not personally smart enough to know about.
Once this gets established that it's OK to kill 'terrorist' overseas, what about fugitive suspected felons are they next? What about domestic terrorist on US soil??? Are we going back to the days of wanted dead or alive???
But then part of me says there are some folks who just need to be killed.
I think it just needs to be done in an open forum not by some secret death panel or just political appointees. Oh yeah that what judges are, appointed. Even though I don't like our justice system, I think we can't bypass an individuals right to a fair trial.
