High School Student Sends Letter to Obama Over Drone AssassinationsAlec Scheer, Contributor It is my understanding, throughout the duration of your Presidency, that you have persistently authorized drone strikes on innocent Middle Eastern civilians who were supposedly working for, or somehow affiliated with Al-Qaeda. As a further matter, you have gone so far as to publicly announce in accordance to your Administrations white paper concerning the legalities and justifications concerning your drone policy, which was leaked to NBC that you have the authority to drone bomb any American citizen. Full transcript continues below The Hill wrote, In the document, the Justice Department concludes that a lethal strike against a senior operational leader of al Qaeda or an affiliated terrorist group can occur if a three-part test is met: that a high-level American intelligence official has determined the individual poses an imminent threat, that capture is infeasible, and that the strike is conducted according to the laws of war governing use of force. Or an affiliated terrorist group. This is chilling. It is jaw-dropping, rather. Why? Its simple. According to multiple documents such as the FBIs Project Megiddo document from the late 1990s and the FBIs and BJAs Communities Against Terrorism documents we, the American people, are considered an affiliated terrorist group. It is also interesting to note the hypocrisy which you have entangled yourself in. You have made it clear, upon the reauthorization of the NDAA with Sections 1021 and 1022 on December 31, 2011, with this leaked white paper concerning drone bombings, and with your countless public appearances regarding terrorism, that anyone who is affiliated or somehow deemed a terrorist shall be denied their Constitutional rights. However, have you ever noticed the glowing hypocrisy here? Your administration has openly aided the Al-Qaeda rebels in Syria (Reuters, Daily Mail, etc.) firearms. Arent these the very people youre against? Arent these the very people by which you have used to justify the killings of countless innocent civilians? From what I have seen, and with respect to the policies/actions mentioned above, you and your Administration should be considered a rogue group which aids the terrorist faction Al-Qaeda. If you cant consider yourself that, then at the very least you need to consider yourself an affiliated terrorist group. With that said, it seems as though you need to indefinitely detain or drone bomb yourself, right? After all, you do meet the requirements for such actions. Now, of course, this is hypothetical. I wish no harm to you or any of your bureaucrats. However, I am using this to exemplify your hypocrisy. Moreover, it is my understanding that you have gone so far as to justify the killing of 16 year old American citizen, for being a suspected Al-Qaeda operative, by having your Press Secretary come out and say it was moral and just. Whatever the case may be, Anwar Awlaki the 16 year old whom you killed was denied due process of law, a jury trial, and was not given the opportunity to defend his case in front of a jury of his peers. I am a 16 year old high school student myself. Am I next? After all, I am considered an affiliated terrorist group because I support the Constitution and Ron Paul. Will you slaughter me, like you did Awlaki? Mr. Obama, you will have an uprising on your hands if you do not change your antics. I am not calling for an uprising nor do I support one but I am warning you that a plethora of Americans are growing angry over your policies.
