The Obama administration is upping the use of terrorist drone strikes in Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Think about the tremendous hypocrisy of the use of these drones as it pertains to the Obamunists.
If you are a terrorist captured in the battle field, the Obamunists want you arrested, read your Miranda rights and detained until you receive your trial in New York where a jury of your peers will determine if you are truly a terrorist.
But if you are spotted by drone in Waziristan, an unnamed and unaccountable CIA agent in Florida will determine without use of a trial or even a good questioning whether you will be summarily executed.
Don't get me wrong, I think a hell fire missile to the terrorist's temple is a good thing provided that an option to capture them is unlikely or impractical. But ideally the best option is to get these guys on the battlefield, introduce them to some good enhanced interrogation techniques, get intelligence to capture more and then send them to a military tribunal for their trial.
But where is the consistency that some terrorists will receive top of the line American civilian justice and some will be blown to bits for just being a suspect?
Of course you won't here a peep from the libs because now it's a good war.
I'm sure many terrorist would prefer the Bush treatment as opposed to being turned to chum.
