It's all about due process….We can tie the response about the unmanned drones to the wiretapping of American citizens…. "All wiretapping of American citizens by the National Security Agency requires a warrant from a three-judge court set up under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act." Click here to read more. This is not limited to wiretapping…

Drones are a threat to our constitutional right to privacy.

Alarm bells sound over granting the right to the targeted, extrajudicial killing of American citizens by the government. Some guidelines are included but they are vague, subjective and far too elastic to give anyone reading them a sense of a policy under tight, judicial control. Additionally, this may well be a policy that the US…

OK to kill American citizens without a trial, but not OK (in fact, reprehensible and un-American) to waterboard known terrorists. Reasoning? To save American lives. Huh?!

I am appalled at this action and appalled that Obama is the first president to ever appoint an assassination czar - Unconstitutional and unfathomable!

I think it is unconstitutional to kill people who you think are terrorist w/o any proof. Obama could kill whomever he wanted by calling them terrorist. Just another thing King Obama should be impeached for.

I am very conflicted on this issue, perhaps because the White House declines to discuss the parameters they use to determine who they consider a terrorist operative to be placed on this “kill list.”  I understand the necessity to eliminate those who plot to commit terrorist acts against our country and its citizens.  I worry…

And there is no limitation to say the Administration cannot deem opposition on U.S. soil to be terrorists and use drones in the U.S.  This stance by the White House uses Al-Qaida as a facade for…

Too much power in too little hands.
