Exclusive: Can the President Order a Killing on U.S. Soil?



Newsweek


Feb. 13, 2006 issue - In the latest twist in the debate over presidential powers, a Justice Department official suggested that in certain circumstances, the president might have the power to order the killing of terrorist suspects inside the United States. Steven Bradbury, acting head of the department's Office of Legal Counsel, went to a closed-door Senate intelligence committee meeting last week to defend President George W. Bush's surveillance program. During the briefing, said administration and Capitol Hill officials (who declined to be identified because the session was private), California Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein asked Bradbury questions about the extent of presidential powers to fight Al Qaeda; could Bush, for instance, order the killing of a Qaeda suspect known to be on U.S. soil? Bradbury replied that he believed Bush could indeed do this, at least in certain circumstances.

U.S. is back in assassination business
Patrick Shea






Thirty-one years ago I worked for Sen. Frank Church of Idaho on the first U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee. What began as an analytic investigation of the U.S. intelligence community rapidly devolved into a much-televised investigation into the U.S. policy of attempting to assassinate foreign leaders.
Early in 1975, Vice President Nelson Rockefeller turned over to the committee the "family jewels"- a collection of notes from people within the U.S. Intelligence Committee that then-director of the Central Intelligence Agency, James Scheslinger, had gathered from CIA employees he had asked to chronicle the wrongdoings they had observed.
The handoff from Rockefeller to Church began a two-year investigative process involving 142 staff members and 11 senators. In the end, more than 10 volumes of information were produced and various legislative and regulatory reforms were implemented. One of the most significant was a unanimous recommendation that the United States adopt a statute prohibiting political assassination.
The Congress did not adopt the legislation. However, in 1977 after President Carter was sworn into office with Walter Mondale as his vice president, an executive order was issued prohibiting the use of political assassination. Mondale, a former member of the Church committee, implemented the policy in the new administration.
Under Presidents Reagan, Bush "41" and Clinton, the executive order prohibiting political assassination was maintained and honored. As has now been publicly revealed, the administration of Bush "43" secretly repealed the prohibition on assassination. In its place, under the omnipresent 9/11 rationale, the U.S. is back in the business of assassination.

What's funny in a sad way, is that everyone knows what kind of government we have now. We all know our government is
out of control. Presidential Executive Orders to build concentration camps in every state. FEMA's real federal emergency is Martial Law. Blackwater is your fifth column mercenary Army of 50,000 men. recruited from all over to supress American Citizens when the time comes.
So, yeah, Obama can order anyone killed for any reason.
That we are living in a country where habeus corpus is no more, where people are swept off the streets and jailed, and tortured and killed for vague or no reasons. Where our own President and his brother can be shot dead in front of us all
Martin L King, congressman Hale Boggs, senator Paul Wellstone are all killed. In Wacco texas they killed children by burning them up. That is just Satanic. , Oaklahoma City, and the World Trade building are all brought down by agents within our government. The S and L Scandal during Bush one's shift, and the Bank Bailout on Bush Two's shift. Cant American's add all this up? It's done. Good Old America is done. The Ozzy and Harriett America is gone. As soon as the powers on high,
Cheney, Bush, Harriman, These people are consistently evil. can let america be the way it was because the way it was was only for white people.
Now there are all these mud people wanting the same rights as whites....and there is NO WAY the power elite with their
eugenic new world order, will allow this country to be free and fair for Blacks, Mexicans, Islamics, Women, and people with disabilities. NO WAY....Yeah, The President can order people in America "liquidated, for whatever. They want us to believe it's everyman for himself now. Devide us. make us hate each other, and break the will of the American people.
The rules this country were founded on and existed on since our revolution have been so compromised America is more like Red China than our good ole" Leave it to beaver" America.
Corporate prisoner's body organs for sale, anyone?

Whew, that felt good to vent.
So, now I guess my computer access will be monitored.
God Bless America.....it's time for us all to stand up !!!
Who is brave enough to stand against this unraveling of our Country?

Who will risk their life and that of their family members to stop this American Tyranny???
Not Obama, that's for certian.
