DoJ claims drone strikes against Americans legal

Haha you're actually kind of right Precocity but regardless of NRA panic-button pushing, they'd be the ones I'd be least worried about.

IIRC during Bush it was anti-war groups, Quaker groups and more recently of course it was OWS because of course those people are terrorists.

The NRA doesn't have a problem with us bombing the crap out of or killing other people obviously. So I doubt either administration sees them as some sort of "threat."

Eynon - I concur that it's distrubing. However, I believe that if we repealed the War Powers Act, and returned to a situation where military force may not be initiated without Congressional declarations of war, then everything after that will solve itself. Meaning, if we're not at war, then our soldiers aren't over there, which means that there is no danger, which means there is no legal framework for extra-judicial killings.

Can't we just bring back project MKUltra and do this kind of stuff a little, like, more low-key?

My guess is within ten years, drones will be used right here, for reasons other then picture taking. As for now, our use of them the way we are, will insure parts of the world will despise us for many years to come. All I can say is good job dumbasses.
