Targeted Assassinations [Mona Charen]

From the AP:

>>> Bin Laden son may have been killed

Saad bin Laden, a son of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, may have been killed in a U.S. airstrike, U.S. officials said Thursday. The son was likely killed in Pakistan in the last several months, approximately in late spring, said a counterterrorism official, one of three Obama administration officials who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence.<<<

This is shocking. The Obama administration is carrying out a secret policy of targeted assassinations. They are going after al-Qaeda suspects. Was Congress thoroughly briefed on the details of this hit — time, date, plan of attack? — before the drones were deployed? This is an obvious violation of the U.N. Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Geneva Conventions, the Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and the 2008 Democratic party platform.

We need hearings and a special prosecutor.

Al, > personally I don't believe that there needs to be any degradation, but I am willing to accept what comes...

Kind of like the "culture of corruption" that exists in government? It doesn't need to be there, but you seem willing to accept it.

> Should the military be a private enterprise/insurance system?

Nice try, but you can't run that easily.
