| Nothing Says "No Due Process" Like a Hellfire Missile |
| 2009-01-09 |
| Byron York, of National Review, commenting on this happy event: ...I wonder: Where are the protests? If the U.S. had arrested these guys, and made them stand up for long periods of time while being questioned, or turned the air-conditioning way down in the interrogation room, there would be an outcry about their treatment. And yet when the U.S. blows them to bits, out of the blue, with a Hellfire missile fired from an un-manned drone controlled by Americans thousands of miles away, there's not much complaint. Now I'm sure the CIA took great care to make sure it had the right target in the crosshairs, but you can't get a much better definition of "no due process" than a Hellfire missile. Where's the outrage? |

| #6 I did see an ad for a show about a pregnant man on one of the Discovery channels, but I didn't watch it. Who wants to listen to a guy whine for 9 months? *ducks, runs for cover* ;-p |

| #4 Not "outrage" but "outlaw" - which means not that you operate outside the law but that you're outside the protection of the law. |

| #2 Outrage? We don' need no steenkin' outrage. Besides, we's too busy pasing out candy and ululating. Or is that ovulating? I can never keep them straight. |
