EXTRACT:

In fact, US assassination and targeted killing, with presidential approval, has been going on covertly for at least half a century. Ironically, all this drone killing now offers us a  new opportunity: to pry open the Pandora’s box hiding long-held secrets of covert US assassination and targeted killing, and to expose them to the light of day. What we would find is that the only things new in the latest, more publicized revelations about kill lists and assassinations are the use of drones, the president’s hands-on approach in vetting targets, and the global scope of the drone killing.

Read full article with detailed history of U.S. assassination programs going back 50 years.

Phi Beta Iota:  When we went to read the full story, we found an extraordinary number of other stories and even web sites using the term “assassination nation.”  This is not a meme the Founding Fathers would be happy about.
