Assassination threat for Americans abroad
If you’re an American travelling abroad and you’re worried some foreigner might kill you, worry no more.
You can safely leave it the US government.
Your potential assassination, that is.
Because US citizens can be safely assassinated by the US government when they’re overseas.
At least, that’s what National Intelligence Director Dennis Blair told told the House Intelligence Committee, yesterday, says AntiWar.com.
According to Blair, this should “reassure” Americans that there’s a “set of defined policy and legal procedures” and such assassinations are “always carried out by the book”, says the story.
Phewww! That’ll be a huge relief for US citizens on the move!
And it’s OK. ” … we don’t target people for free speech”, AntiWar.com has Blair stating.
Adds the story, “Rather they are subject to assassination when the government decides they are a threat and when they ‘get specific permission.’
“Exactly who was giving that permission was unclear.”
