Please inform me on this million man genocide I was previously unaware of.

Maybe he's talking about abortion.

That's actually 45 million.

I say kill 'im

Bahaha! I don't know if you're joking or not but that gave me a good laugh. Thanks!

After thinking about this some more I don't understand why there's no requirement for a judicial warrant of some kind. If the question whether Awlaki has voluntarily given up his citizenship were raised in a legal proceeding, we'd require the government to prove that he has. If we want to kill him, it seems to me that at minimum the President or the CIA should have to make that same showing before a court.

As Greenwald points out in the opinion piece that buck linked, it doesn't make much sense to say that the President lacks power to detain indefinitely a person with a claim to American citizenship, but that he has the power to kill such a person.

I remember mentioning the secret CIA prisons a few years ago, to much ridicule.

Also, the 'The Hague Invasion Act'.

Yeah, I'm not sure what that's all about. I think most people who are opposed to this on principle (that is, excluding those who just oppose it because Obama's doing it) were also opposed to the rendition program.

Millions. Just millions.

Honestly I'm all for the CIA turning into Mossad. *shrug*
