US CITIZEN KILLED BY HIS OWN GOVERNMENT
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article35588.htm
The ACLU and CCR have filed a lawsuit challenging the government's targeted killing of three U.S. citizens in drone strikes far from any armed conflict zone.
In Al-Aulaqi v. Panetta (Al-Awlaki v. Panetta) the groups charge that the U.S. government's killings of U.S. citizens Anwar Al-Aulaqi, Samir Khan, and 16-year-old Abdulrahman Al-Aulaqi in Yemen last year violated the Constitution's fundamental guarantee against the deprivation of life without due process of law.

My heart goes out to this man, we
should not live to watch our Grand Children die before us , but the Reality is
if something could be done about this injustice it wont happen until my Grand
Children have Grand Children because that's how we Roll in the Belly of the
Beast, What other outcome than Massive amounts of Drone Strikes should we
expect from the Cowards that hide in Shadows and kill women and Children from
Control Rooms across the other side of the Globe. Plain to see Cowardice for
what it is. Do you think for a moment that Obama actually has the sack to go
and Kill anyone with his own bare hands. But All those Men hiding behind "
The War on Terrorism" are the Real Enemy and in the Role of Commander War
Pig himself Barak Obama with Black Mail Funding courtesy of the National
Security Administration. Cowardly Men leading Blind and Ignorant in Plain
Sight. What ?

These killinga made me ashamed of
this country. What has happened to trials instead of the actions of an
unprincipled country? Who has the right to assassinate people in a real
democracy?.

Holder’s amazing anti-drone war
speech:
In powerfully decrying Stand Your Ground laws, the attorney general effectively rebuked current U.S. foreign policy
THURSDAY, JUL 18, 2013 10:46 AM PDT BY DAVID SIROTA
.In the same week that saw a heartbreaking New York Times Op-Ed published by the grandfather of a 16-year-old American boy extrajudicially executed by one of President Obama’s drone strikes, one of the Obama administration’s highest-ranking officials delivered a powerful speech decrying the government policies of preemptive aggression behind such strikes, saying:
“Separate and apart from the case that has drawn the nation’s attention, it’s time to question laws that senselessly expand the concept of self-defense and sow dangerous conflict…
There has always been a legal defense for using deadly force if — and the “if” is important — if no safe retreat is available…we must examine laws that take this further by eliminating the common-sense and age-old requirement that people who feel threatened have a duty to retreat…
By allowing and perhaps encouraging violent situations to escalate in public, such laws undermine public safety…the list of resulting tragedies is long and, unfortunately, has victimized too many who are innocent. It is our collective obligation (to) ensure that our laws reduce violence, and take a hard look at laws that contribute to more violence than they prevent…
…We must also seek a dialogue on attitudes about violence and disparities that are too commonly swept under the rug…and by paying tribute to the young man who lost his life…and so many others whose futures have been cut short in other incidents…And we must do so by engaging with one another in a way that is at once peaceful, inclusive, respectful and strong.”
The Op-Ed and the underlying crime referenced in the opening paragraph of this article are all too real, as is the above word-for-word excerpt of this week’s speech by Attorney General Eric Holder to the NAACP.
