It all comes down to one basic verb. Can you find it in the following paragraph?

Obama's executive order reads, "By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 1 of the International Organizations Immunities Act (22 U.S.C. 288), and in order to extend the appropriate privileges, exemptions, and immunities to the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol)…"

There's the magic verb: "to extend!"

As I wrote in any earlier column on Interpol, is it also just coincidental that Interpol is exempt from typical American search and seizure laws?

Anyone still not connecting the dots?

Chuck Norris at WND writes about Obama's U.S. assassination program.  And here I was thinking UAVs being used for domestic surveillance was bad.

Sound too conspiratorial to be true? Like the cover-up ops of spy novels? Well, it's reality. And it is possibly the most bizarre, inhumane and abusive way that the White House is expanding its power over the American people.

It's not an extremist belief or theory of the far Right. It's a fact that has been confirmed by publications such as the New York Times, the Washington Post, MSNBC and even documented by the far-Left blog, Salon.com.

And it's the gravest nightmare of U.S. citizens and abandonment of our Constitution to date: A presidential assassination program in which U.S. citizens are in the literal scopes of the executive branch, based upon nothing more than allegations of terrorism involvement as they define it.

Of course, the CIA has executed covert assassinations of foreigners for decades. But, tragically, Obama is now expanding this program to include American, non-Islamic, stateside, homegrown terrorists.

It all started in January of this year when the Washington Post reported, "As part of the operations, Obama approved a December 24 strike against a [Yemeni] compound where a U.S. citizen, Anwar al-Aulaqi, was thought to be meeting with other regional al-Qaida leaders. Although he was not the focus of the strike and was not killed, he has since been added to a shortlist of U.S. citizens specifically targeted for killing or capture. …"

"A shortlist of U.S. citizens specifically targeted for killing"?

That's right. No arrest. No Miranda Rights. No due process. No trial. Just a bullet.
