It’s always nice to watch the official “liberal” mind in action. The NYT editorial page today takes up the issue of Obama’s assassination program, intoning Very Seriously that “assassinations are a grave act and subject to abuse”. And if there’s one thing we hate, it’s seeing something noble and pure like assassination being... oh it hurts even to say it... abused.
Evidently Bush committed such abuses, but “So far, President Obama’s system of command seems to have prevented any serious abuses”. The Times doesn’t explain what an unserious abuse in a program of assassinating people might be.

I think Obama should tell the truth about the real reason we are at war in Pakistan (and Afghanistan) - namely the Chinese-built deep water port in Gwadar, Pakistan - which will guarantee the Chinese a monopoly on Iranian oil and natural gas. Instead of targeting people for extermination - without due process - in pursuit of a cynical economic agenda. I blog about this at http://stuartbramhall.aegauthorblogs.com/2010/09/26/iran-china-and-the-gwadar-port/
