If that's the first time she looked at the situation critically, she must have been slacking pretty hard at her job.

and what a politically safe thing to do, now that bush and blair are out of office, to replace the neoconservative case for war with the neoliberal one

life imitates art? http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-0902-drug-professor-20110902,0,5024438.story?obref=obinsite
Quote:
A Cal State San Bernardino professor who chaired academic committees, tweeted his concerns about child obesity and lived quietly in a well-trimmed Highland neighborhood stands accused of living a shadow life of a heavily armed biker-gang member and drug dealer.

The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department on Thursday said Stephen J. Kinzey, a 43-year-old kinesiology professor, allegedly led a local chapter of the Devils Diciples Outlaw motorcycle gang and a methamphetamine drug operation that brought in tens of thousands of dollars.

I kind of wish I was upset about this. But I'm not. Not even slightly.

Additionally, it seems like some of the legal technicalities that keep the US from just legally saying he has renounced his citizenship (thus making him, presumably, as legitimate a target as any other citizen who commits an act of treason through aiding a hostile power against the government) are along the same lines as the kind of technicalities people lament as being enshrined in American legal/legislative canon despite holding progress back? Maybe not. I dunno.


what?

something like that, yeah. thanks.
guess they didn't want to do the paperwork to make him as much of a US citizen as he saw himself.


nationalism shouldn't be a requirement for citizenship.

Even aside all that: Assuming he was a born citizen of yemen and had never set foot in the US, what would justify the US killing him? Any justification I can think of would require an argument for legitimization of the global war on "terror", with its infinite boundaries and its own set of ugly and extremely shaky reasons for existence.

good to know, I was having trouble parsing the original post in question, and your response to Cuba's post.
