Holder: Obama Can Kill Citizens on US Soil Without Due ProcessNote: important update can be found HERE. Battlefield USA just ratcheted up one notch with comments made by Attorney General Eric Holder to Senator Rand Paul. As the indefinite detention provision for American citizens within the NDAA as stated in sections 1021 and 1022 is still being hard fought in many states, drone use within U.S. borders is still being contestedand the FAA has yet to release a concrete guide as to how many licenses have been granted for US flights, AG Holder would not rule out a drone strike against an American citizen on U.S. soil if he were to imagine an extraordinary circumstance. Worse yet, the nations leading legal adviser said unequivocally that it would be constitutional. Paul disagreed: Holders statements also come at a time when civil libertarians and government officials alike are not clear about the scope of the drone program and the governments legal justification for such actions abroad or at home. The architect of the so-called targeted killing playbook, John Brennan, hascalled drone strikes, ethical, and just while claiming that there hadnt been a single collateral death in Pakistan from drone strikes. This is just one example of who is in control of ensuring that our civil liberties and human rights are protected. Eric Holder is another. As we should know quite well, hypothetical situations are a particular specialty of the U.S. government with 9/11 itself having so many holes in the official version that they likely have not all been completely identified yet. Operation Fast and Furious, on the other hand, is now a solid example of a contrived program designed for political ends, with Holder himself being a prime architect of the plot and cover up. He was actually found in contempt of Congress for failing to provide requested documents and was believed by many to be heading for resignation. This is the man whose advice we are still subjected to. (Source) Holder has proven himself to once again be an absolute menace to liberty and freedom. His words are meant to pave the way for a discussion in the public mind about what might be acceptable. Perhaps we can just hope for a hypothetical situation never to arise that would unleash armed drones on any American suspected, charged, and sentenced to death outside of their constitutional right to due process, but if even recent history serves as instruction, to do so we would have to be the most gullible nation the world has ever seen.
