11-10-03 Execution of US Citizens by Presidential Directives with No Due Process of Law

The execution of US citizens by Presidential Directives through drone attacks is only the latest in series of actions in recent years, where the US government deprived US citizens of Live Liberty and Property with no due process of law. Collapse of civil society and socio-economic development in Western Democracies will be one of the subjects for discussion in the Jerusalem al-Quds 2012 summer celebration.

NEWS ANALYSIS

Judging a Long, Deadly Reach

By SCOTT SHANE
Published: September 30, 2011

WASHINGTON The killing of Anwar al-Awlaki, an American citizen struck on Friday by a missile fired from a drone aircraft operated by his own government, instantly reignited a difficult debate over terrorism, civil liberties and the law. For the Obama administration, Mr. Awlaki, 40, had joined the enemy in wartime, shifting from propaganda to an operational role in plots devised in Yemen by Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula against the United States. Early last year, officials quietly decided that his actions justified making him a target for capture or death like any other Qaeda leader. But a range of civil libertarians and Muslim-American advocates questioned how the government could take an American citizens life based on secret intelligence and without a trial. They said that killing him amounted to summary execution without the due process of law guaranteed by the Constitution.

With al-Awlaki dead, its apparent Obamas covert campaign knows no boundaries
By Michael Hirsh National Journal Fri, Sep 30, 2011

John Bellinger, who served as general counsel to the National Security Council and State Department in the Bush administration, toldNational Journal that the legal reasoning for the Obama administrations global war against al-Qaida, which involves targeting terrorists in almost any country deemed uncooperative, is not very different from its predecessors. Bellinger said that the administration has not been clear about its legal basis for drone strikes, especially against American citizens. Under the administrations legal reasoning, Awlaki and other suspected Qaida terrorists could be targeted either because they are deemed to pose an imminent threat or because they are identified as part of an enemy army. The requirements of due process to kill an American outside the United States as part of an enemy army are really not clear, Bellinger said. We know under the Constitution there must be due process to deprive Americans of life or liberty, but the requirements of what process is due is not clear.

An Unconstitutional Killing: Obamas Killing of Awlaki Violates American Law

By Ron Paul

October 03, 2011 NY Daily News As President, I would not hesitate to use decisive force to repel any imminent threat. National defense is a primary function of Congress and the commander-in-chief, and, as chief executive, I would carry out my duties as outlined in the Constitution and in accordance with the rule of law. President Obama apparently believes he is not bound by the Constitution or the rule of law. When it was reported that Anwar al-Awlaki was killed by U.S. drone strikes in Yemen last week, certainly no one felt remorse for his fate. Awlaki was a detestable person we believe helped recruit and inspire others to kill Americans through terrorist acts.

We have to take the fight against terrorism very seriously. In 2001, I supported the authority to capture and kill the thugs responsible for 9/11. In our efforts we must, however, work hard to preserve and respect our great American constitutional principles. I believe in our Constitution. I believe U.S. citizens who are tried and convicted of treason should face the ultimate consequence. Arresting and trying someone like Awlaki is not for his benefit, but for the benefit of all American citizens. Serving justice is unquestionably necessary and important. But so is how it is served. Our first concern should always be for the rule of law, or we will continue to find ourselves under the rule of the lawless. This becomes of special concern when the lawless can now include the President of the United States.

The Day America Died
By Paul Craig Roberts

October 03, 2011 Information Clearing House September 30, 2011 was the day America was assassinated. Some of us have watched this day approach and have warned of its coming, only to be greeted with boos and hisses from patriots who have come to regard the US Constitution as a device that coddles criminals and terrorists and gets in the way of the President who needs to act to keep us safe. In our book, The Tyranny of Good Intentions, Lawrence Stratton and I showed that long before 9/11 US law had ceased to be a shield of the people and had been turned into a weapon in the hands of the government. The event known as 9/11 was used to raise the executive branch above the law. As long as the President sanctions an illegal act, executive branch employees are no longer accountable to the law that prohibits the illegal act. On the presidents authority, the executive branch can violate US laws against spying on Americans without warrants, indefinite detention, and torture and suffer no consequences. Many expected President Obama to re-establish the accountability of government to law. Instead, he went further than Bush/Cheney and asserted the unconstitutional power not only to hold American citizens indefinitely in prison without bringing charges, but also to take their lives without convicting them in a court of law. Obama asserts that the US Constitution notwithstanding, he has the authority to assassinate US citizens, who he deems to be a threat, without due process of law. Voting has no effect. President Change is worse than Bush/Cheney. As Jonathan Turley suggests,

Obama is the most disastrous president in our history. Ron Paul is the only presidential candidate who stands up for the Constitution, but the majority of Americans are too unconcerned with the Constitution to appreciate him. To expect salvation from an election is delusional. All you can do, if you are young enough, is to leave the country. The only future for Americans is a nightmare.
