Faced with calls to reveal more information about the drone strike program, or at the very least to disclose the legal foundations for how they figure they can assassinate people worldwide, the Obama Administration has issued a virtual non-answer statement.
The new statement from the National Security Council bragged about the “unprecedented” disclosures they’ve already made, and insisted that the administration would continue with disclosures exactly as they have.
“Exactly as they have,” in this context, means refusing all comment on individual drone strikes, and never even sort of admitting to them except on those rare occasions when they’ve heard of someone they killed.
The NSC defended this, insisting that the Obama Administration has a “process in place” to ensure the killings are ethical, but this process remains more or less entirely secret, and the NSC insists that what little they’ve told to the public before is “all” they feel comfortable telling us.
Makes one wonder what else they've been up to that wouldn't tolerate much scrutiny. I guess Americans have collectively decided that, like the Jack Nicholson character so eloquently expressed, "We just can't handle the truth".
Obama will be attending a gala dinner where he will be collecting a lifetime achievement award for his service to crime against humanity.
Team Obama – "you don't want to know so we won't have to tell you." Condescending freaks.
Is it possible that if he never admits to the crime of willfully killing children and other innocents with indifference that when he stands before his God he'll believe that his conscience is clear? Assuming of course, that he is a God-fearing man.
