President Barack Obama’s unconstitutional secret ‘kill list’ includes a 17-year-old girl along with several American citizens, according to a New York Times report.
“Mr. Obama has placed himself at the helm of a top secret "nominations" process to designate terrorists for kill or capture, of which the capture part has become largely theoretical. He had vowed to align the fight against Al Qaeda with American values; the chart, introducing people whose deaths he might soon be asked to order, underscored just what a moral and legal conundrum this could be,” reports the NY Times, adding that one of the targets in Yemen is “a girl who looked even younger than her 17 years,” and that “Several were Americans.”
WASHINGTON — This was the enemy, served up in the latest chart from the intelligence agencies: 15 Qaeda suspects in Yemen with Western ties. The mug shots and brief biographies resembled a high school yearbook layout. Several were Americans. Two were teenagers, including a girl who looked even younger than her 17 years.

The country of our forefathers no longer exists, proving the rule rather than the exception.
Man appears incapable of maintaining for any appreciable period of time a form of governance that places justice, freedom and prosperity at the top of the priority list.
*sigh*
I can't stand how the US is 'allowed' to drone anyone they want, and then when horrible massacres in Houla happen, the world condemns it, YET, the US puts out a list, including children and noone in the international community says anything!!

Are 17 yo's not capable of committing a crime? Yes they are and rather large mass crimes at that too. I have no problem of the list as long as the due diligence is being done.

The glaring hypocrisy between what the US says, and what it actually does, is truly sickening. There will come a time when this country will have to pay. Naturally, the bastards who order the bombing, killings and outright assassinations will not be the ones footing the bill. It will be us.

Exaclty! The Houla massacre for example.. Horrible story. And should be condemned, and it has. Yet, where is the international condemnation of the children killed everyweek by american drones?!?! HYPOCRACY!
It can be a legal obligation, but the term will more commonly apply to voluntary investigations.
An idiot, dolt, or dullard is a mentally deficient person, or someone who acts in a self-defeating or significantly counterproductive way.

Oh stuff that bullcrap back where it belongs!! We had to listen for months about how awful water-boarding a terrorist was and how awful Bush and Cheney are.... But now it's ok to have an assassination list and kill people?? Take two logic pills and come back tomorrow.
