Assassination Amnesia

On Sept. 17, 2001, President George W. Bush signed an executive order authorizing the use of "lethal measures" against anyone in the world whom he or his minions designated an "enemy combatant." This order remains in force today. No judicial evidence, no hearing, no charges are required for these killings; no law, no border, no oversight restrains them. Bush has also given agents in the field carte blanche to designate "enemies" on their own initiative and kill them as they see fit.

--from the Moscow Times article about the "universal death squads" carrying out murders for the White House over the last four years, and the "enablers of atrocity" in the still acquiescent U.S. Congress. More at
