Assassination

The National Security Advisor, Brennan, indicated that the White House has an assassination list and that there are about 15 people on it. Further, he said they are Americans and are located all over the world. I was aware that belligerents in Afghanistan were being targeted by drones for assassination and Obama had to personally approve when they were to attack, and he has done so. The amazing thing about this new information is that there are Americans on that list. Americans have rights that cannot be taken without court action. Apparently, Obama can just give the word and an assassinating can take place. Can this really happen? We don't know because the White House does not give out this information. Glenn Beck wondered if his name was on the list and inquired of the CIA if he was on the list. They would not say, replied only that they could not search their files for this type of information. Glenn is still wondering if he is on the list.

  • Assassination implies government officials or other important individuals, otherwise it's murder isn't it? Can you even imagine the outcries if this occurred under our former President.

  • So I goggled Brennan, assasination list and I got this interview on youtube: /www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkQkEVvTaII&feature=player_embedded#!

    So Brennan is a security advisor for homeland security and counter terrorism--is Glen Beck worried that he, himself is a terrorist member of Al Qaeda?

    Brennan was discussing targeting the leadership of Al Qaeda and that there are Americans who belong to that terrorist group. Now I don't claim to be a great conspiracy theory weaver--I dabble,but I'm certainly not in the league of Mr. Beck--but I didn't get a "kill Americans" vibe from this guy.

    But my googling did reveal why Glenn Beck was taking pot shots at him (in addition to the shoot at everything in the Obama administration). Brennan critized Cheney. Brennan was already never, ever a poster boy for the liberals, so he shot his real base in the foot. Ohhh, Jon Stewart aka Daily, would have said face.
