I'm just curious- and I'm not in disagreement with the OP, but isn't this something Bush started? If a Republican was doing the same thing, would most on here feel the same way? Granted, I don't think Obeyme should have sole authority for this, there needs to be incontrovertible evidence that the person being targeted is in fact a terrorist, and there needs to be checks and balances- like the two man rule with SSBNs.
