President Barack Obama?s unconstitutional secret ?kill list? includes a 17-year-old girl along with several American citizens, according to a New York Times report.
?Mr. Obama has placed himself at the helm of a top secret ?nominations? process to designate terrorists for kill or capture, of which the capture part has become largely theoretical. He had vowed to align the fight against Al Qaeda with American values; the chart, introducing people whose deaths he might soon be asked to order, underscored just what a moral and legal conundrum this could be,?
reports the NY Times, adding that one of the targets in Yemen is ?a girl who looked even younger than her 17 years,? and that ?Several were Americans.?
The White House has asserted the right to carry out state-sponsored assassination anywhere in the world without having to provide any evidence or go through any legal process. The administration merely has to state that the target is a terrorist and it doesn?t matter whether they are an American citizen or not, as we saw in the case of
American-born Anwar al-Awlaki and his son, who were both killed last year.
In December,
Obama administration lawyers reaffirmed their backing for state sponsored assassination, claiming that ?U.S. citizens are legitimate military targets? and do not have the right to any legal protection against being marked for summary execution.
, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta revealed that Obama himself personally approves the policy to kill American citizens suspected of terrorism without trial on a case by case basis.
?So it?s the requirement of the administration under the current legal understanding that the president has to make that declaration, not you?? Panetta was asked, to which he replied, ?That is correct.?
