Mr. Obama as judge, juror and executioner
Not long ago, during the administration of President Bush, there was a war of outrage and condemnation waged against Mr. Bush because his administration was applying a little pressure to some high-value terror suspects.
President Obama has been using drones to take out terror suspects, and most recently, Anwar al-Awlaki. Missing though, are the voices of those who relentlessly condemned President Bush for adding a little cold water to the faces of some suspects.
Are we to assume that those who were condemning President Bush, and are now silent, see killing as a far lesser offense than applying a little discomfort?
A president who becomes the police, the prosecutor, the judge, the jury and the executioner is far more dangerous and much more deserving of condemnation than one who simply roughs up a suspect to get information.
