The Obama administration’s decision to authorize the killing by the Central Intelligence Agency of a terrorism suspect who is an American citizen has set off a debate over the legal and political limits of drone missile strikes, a mainstay of the campaign against terrorism.

The notion that the government can, in effect, execute one of its own citizens far from a combat zone, with no judicial process and based on secret intelligence, makes some legal authorities deeply uneasy.

Of, course, if this were G.W. Bush giving the kill order, the Times would be apoplectic. Now they demure, saying a few legal beagles are the only ones upset.

What would one give for newspaper that actually worked. ??

Look how carefully the Times shields Barry Hussein from any trouble:

To eavesdrop on the terrorism suspect who was added to the target list, the American-born radical cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who is hiding in Yemen, intelligence agencies would have to get a court warrant. But designating him for death, as C.I.A. officials did early this year with the National Security Council’s approval, required no judicial review.

Yeah, its the NSC not the POTUS who made this call....and I've a cool bridge in Brooklyn to sell ya all....

Now, remember, this post is NOT about the right or wrong of the kill order, it is about the scary dereliction of the liberal media to hold Scary Barry accountable for his actions.

Psst, Miss so-called feminist Naomi Wolf...remember you said BHO would do so much better than HRC at restoring rule of law? That was why you drooled for Obama in 08 and peed on Hillary. Don't you look foolish now, MISSY Wolf. Go skip after your daddy needs and leave the grown -up stuff to emotionally healthy women.

And folks, speaking of mentally unstable....where is Olbermann's worst person in the world rant on this big time breach of liberal mores? Absent. Radio silent and FemiSex is calling bullshit.
