If Bush had done this liberals would have lost their shit, but since their own is doing it they're OK with it. Conservatives are no better; they would have defended Bush's decision. Personally, I think this sets a frightening precedent. Maybe right now it is only being used against terrorists that pose a serious threat to our national security, but giving the executive branch of the federal government the right to kill Americans that they alone deem to be dangerous is seriously unwise.
