Justification

Glenn Greenwald has a long post discussing Eric Holder's defense of extrajudicial killing by the government.  As always, read it and be edified.

What disturbs me in all of this - including all the many ways we are leaving democracy behind and turning into a barely recognizable empire - is that once a country goes down this road, the reversal must be nearly impossible.  Once rights have been given up, getting them back takes something like the American Revolution.

Think about that.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
