UPDATED: Dead Terrorists Give No Political Headaches
Professor Douglas: A Shoot-First Policy at the White House? “Given the administration’s failure to close Guantanamo, and its backtracking on civilian trials for al Qaeda’s leadership, it’s entirely within reason to consider that President Obama frankly didn’t want to deal with it. Screw it. Kill the f**ker and be done.”
It’s not only within reason. It’s part of a policy trend at the White House that the WaPo spotted in early 2010. It’s almost as if all that talk of extra-legal this and imperialist that during the Bush years was just empty rhetoric used to score political points and rally the rubes troops. Isn’t it?

Well, perhaps dead terrorists do give some headaches, after all. My head hurts just thinking about Michael Moore and Rosie O’Donnell at the same time…
