[Daily Caller] On Monday, the White House memo used to justify drone attacks on U.S. citizens was released, and it appears to confirm the worst suspicions of its libertarian critics. The Obama administration had sought to keep the memo secret, and now we know why: Because there are no checks and balances; there are no classified courts. Indeed, the memo reveals that the president of the United States ordered the targeting killing of U.S. citizens overseas "-- in violation of their constitutional right to due process "-- sans any type of oversight outside of the executive.

It is left to the Reader to draw his own conclusions.) |
