Obama’s Unlimited Right to Kill?
12:03 pm | Attention Deficit Democracy | Bush | Clinton | Lying | War crimes | Comments: 10
Is there any limit to the killing that a U.S. president can initiate as long as he claims benevolent motives?

8:30 pm | Attention Deficit Democracy | Clinton | FBI | Justice Department | Lying | Rule of Law | dictatorship | lese majeste | Comments: 4
Former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich is a four-star sleazeball. But the feds had their chance to put him away and they failed to convince a jury on all charges except lying to the FBI.
