We can kill anyone anywhere...

...as long as the president gives the okay.  It matters not of what country the victim is a citizen. It matters not that American citizens may be so targeted without any thought of a U.S. court having some input on the process.  In the words of Attorney General Holder, "the president may use force abroad against a senior operational leader of a foreign terrorist organization with which the United States is at war - even if that individual happens to be a U.S. citizen."

How does this differ from Bush's claim that torture is fine as long as we are the torturers?
