Be Afraid: New Homeland Security Chief OK'd Drone Strikes on Americans
Friday October 18, 2013
If the ubiquitous voice of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano in the metro (or Walmart, etc) demanding that you say something if you see something wasn't frightening enough, if TSA's cancer rays and gropings were not outrageous enough, if Homeland Security military vehicles on US soil were not disgusting enough, Obama has a real treat in store for you.
His pick to lead the currently headless DHS is called Jeh Johnson. He was, according to the Washington Post, the Pentagon's top lawyer. In that capacity he and a team of Pentagon experts concluded that the president did indeed have the right to use drones to kill American citizens without charge or trial. Thanks to Johnson's determination, at least three American citizens have been killed without trial by their government.
Now he will be in charge of the "homeland."
Chew on that next time you ponder "opting out" at the airport!
