What "Our" Government Has Become

According to the May 29 New York Times, Obama has given specific approval for the extra-judicial execution of everyone mentioned ?on an expanding `kill list??..? This includes high school-age youngsters in Yemen suspected of ?militant? tendencies.

All that is necessary to be considered a legitimate target for a drone-fired missile is physical proximity to someone considered a ?militant.? Obama?s perspective, notes the Times, ?counts all military-age males in the strike zone as combatants ... unless there is explicit intelligence posthumously proving them innocent.? This standard permits immediate liquidation of such people, who might then be exonerated after the fact. The operating assumption is that ?people in an area of known terrorist activity ? are probably up to no good,? explains the Times.

This would include people like a young girl named Fatima, who was killed in a May 2010 Hellfire missile attack in North Waziristan. The same lethal fate befell hundreds of others who have been killed in drone strikes that have targeted funerals, or follow-up drone attacks that targeted first responders who arrived to rescue victims of a primary strike.

That?s what our government has become. What are you going to do about it?

Let us take back the liberty where with Christ has made us free.
