(20,453 posts)That is what I'm reading here. The many links you've peppered include descriptions of this first United States citizen to be assassinated (what a status!) after the okay by President Obama for the CIA to drone strike.
I see you have used Wikepedia's description of Awlaki.
I also re-read the articles by Greenwald, who I will not describe as anything more than a journalist who has done his job. Yeah
I "get it" that the usual pile-ons have swarmed Mr. Greenwald again. That's pretty usual.
So, it would appear that you, like Awlaki, have created a sermon of your own, nodding approval of having the CIA (who we trust so much) to have offed him because he's a piece of shit, and tying it into the horrible reporting of Greenwald. I see you would even provide criteria for what you thought was Awlaki's intent. And, you would rather a nation of laws say, "fuck it" instead of a nation of laws finding out what the facts are behind any of these fatwas. You would rather OFF these radicals than send them through the U.S. legal system. Hey, what's that worth now, anyway?
You know, I see where all the extra judicial stuff you describe outside a due process greatly adds to the mounds of propaganda. It's getting hard to tell who's lost their mind here lately.
I wouldn't waste a fucking line asking you for an apology for this piece you're written today, either. You just showed yourself real well.
Your post makes me ashamed to share a forum with you. I guess I could just put you on ignore, if I'm that upset. What I am right now is sick to my stomach from what you posted.
