It's not that I disagree it can and is being abused heavily, but there's some big and obvious differences between drug smugglers and Al-Qaeda, I think we can agree. And Trump wouldn't wait for precedent TO do it. Al-Qaeda is a military organization that has performed military strikes. One of the chief targets on 9/11 was the Pentagon and they'd bombed military bases before that. From the point of view of process, there really is no difference between these two cases. In both situations, the executive branch/the president can issue kill orders which are followed, and there is no accountability to anyone for these executions. "of course" this is reasonable when the target is literally bin Ladin or the like, and "of course" it's a abuse when the target is a boatful of people that could just as easily have been arrested. But "of course" is a stupid way to define government powers. --- "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.
