Eric Holder: US Can Lawfully Target Americans or Anyone for Assassination

This is so flamboyantly UNlawful it's almost pornographic. Are there any democrats out there who ever imagined that their choice for Prez would stoop even lower than Bush to break the Constitution and attack civil liberties?

Holder builds a strange fantasy world, predicated on his idea that since the US is in an extended military operation they call a "war on terror", they can basically make up the law as they go. Of course, if the US were at War, then the US would have to operate according to the GENEVA ACCORDS, which clearly prohibits assassinations. And if the US is NOT at War (which it is not), then US criminal code applies to any suspect, and the suspect must be handled according to the LAW, which doesn't allow for ASSASSINATIONS.

And here is a good piece from the Post blog:

As Frederic Bastiat said in the 19th Century: "The Law is guilty of the same acts it purports to stop."
