Secret panel can put Americans on “kill list’

‘…American militants like Anwar al-Awlaki are placed on a kill or capture list by a secretive panel of senior government officials, which then informs the president of its decisions, according to officials.
There is no public record of the operations or decisions of the panel, which is a subset of the White House’s National Security Council, several current and former officials said. Neither is there any law establishing its existence or setting out the rules by which it is supposed to operate…

And of course- as is the way with bureaucracies-who constitutes an “enemy of the State”, deserving of killing, will be defined downwards over time…..

  1. So that’s why Sarah Palin is not standing!

    Sarah is doing more good leading ginger groups than she would do running for president.

    She has also drawn the media leftists away from the actual candidate, leaving less time to vilify them.

      My thoughts exactly. It’s interesting to see the crap being directed at Perry–the leftists really fear the man.

  3. Yes, the Perry business is strange.
    He’s caught between a grafitti’d rock and a hard place :)

    I’ve moved Perry into the same bracket as Romney,while I would take either one over Obama,I would rather Cain be the nominee.
    #1 He’s not a career politician
    #2 He’s not a lawyer
    #3 He burys the racial angle
    #4 He wants to scrap the tax code
    #5 Holds a degree in mathematics and computer science
    #6 Was the first to attack Hillarycare by pointing out in definate terms what it was.
    #7 Actually has held a real job and understands capitalism and the free market

    “Secret panels.” it is beginning to remind me of “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.” Now. who is old enough to remember that?

    The funny thing about this secret panel that kills jihadists is the very thing leftists squawked about during the Bush years. You’d never have thought that their boy who also vilified Bush while he was in opposition would step up the ante to this level when he got into power.

    The last i heard was that he was teasing them with some small crumbs about ‘maybe’ closing gitmo. leftards must be really stupid not to see that he’s just treating them like old trash. And yet they still stand ready to lick his boots when called upon, pathetic.
