The Royal Scam


Farting in the Wind

Shark-In-Charge of the US Corporation Eric Holder justifies killing anyone, anytime.

"Neither Congress nor our federal courts has limited the geographic scope of our ability to use force* (kill anyone) to the current conflict in Afghanistan," Holder said. "We are at war with a stateless enemy, prone to shifting operations from country to country."

As if this wasn't incredible enough Benjamin Wittes (a shark scholar with the Brookings Institution) justifies the justification...

"It's essential that if we’re going to be doing these things (killing anyone), the top officials of our national security and legal officials explain why it's legal under international and constitutional law,"

...and then closes the circle.

"I think [the administration] is right as a matter of law."

This is what becomes of laws and values in the hands of murderers and thieves. To use the words of the SIC himself, This is an indicator of our times, not a departure from our laws and our values (as he spoke out of both gill sides at the same time.)


* The strike can't violate international standards governing the use of force by killing too many civilians or noncombatants.
