Obama: A Global Menace – Nat Hentoff Sees President Wielding Unjustified License To Kill’ Via Drones
Nat Hentoff / WND
When the Obama administration officially declared that an American citizen – Anwar al-Awlaki, a radically influential global preacher of murderous jihad – is on a targeted list to be tracked and killed by CIA pilotless drones, New York Times reporter Scott Shane made a constitutional point that had no discernible impact on Congress or the citizenry at large:
“To eavesdrop on the terrorism suspect, intelligence agencies would have to get a court warrant. But designating him for death … required no judicial review” (New York Times, May 13).
On June 24, the president’s closest adviser on counterterrorism, John Brennan – a former high-level CIA official who was deeply involved in techniques for interrogating terrorism suspects that ignored the U.S. Torture Act – indicated that more American citizens could become targets of CIA pilotless drones.
In an interview with Washington Times reporter Eli Lake (June 24), Brennan referred to “dozens of Americans (who) have joined terrorist groups and are posing a threat to the United States.”

Yes, the droners will use drones to zap people, and then God will use lightning bolts to zap the droners. What goes around, comes around. That’s what the Bible says, and it’s true. What some people call “karma” is actually Divine Justice.
Drones can sometimes be hidden from, but lightning bolts can never be hidden from. If they want you, they will find you, even if you hide underground in a US government or corporate hi-tech bunker.
