RayWatkins says: By Juliet LapidosPosted Tuesday, July 14, 2009, at 5:50 PM ET Should we let them live or take them out? We spend more time worrying about torturing or shooting our enemies than our concern for the millions of babies we kill by abortion. Something is wrong with that picture. US lawmaking really has no bearing in most of these situations. Political assassination would be considered an act of aggression under the UN charter, and is thus specifically outlawed. Additionally, the charter is a treaty the US signed into legally, and is therefore Constitutionally considered a "supreme law of the land", along with a host of other treaties that mental exercises like this plainly ignore. Seymour Hersh is standing by his reporting that the program was in fact active, was going into countries without telling anyone (not the ambassador, not the CIA station chief, certainly not the locals), murdering people, and leaving. Former Colin Powell aide Col. Lawrence Wilkerson says he's hearing scuttlebutt that the program was active. And that it was shut down because they were killing too many of the wrong people, causing too much collateral damage. That means innocent civilians were killed by agents of the United States government while committing murder in foreign countries. The White House said "We don't torture" before. They were lying. Now they're saying "We don't dispatch hit squads". There should be criminal charges... Something is wrong with your picture Jay as you try to excuse one wrong doing with another. Nice morality you got there! |
