Quotation of the Day for October 23, 2011"Every now and then it's worth pausing to reflect on how often we talk about the killing of people by the U.S. Literally, the U.S. government is just continuously killing people in multiple countries around the world. Who else does that? Nobody -- certainly nowhere near on this scale. The U.S. President expressly claims the power to target anyone he wants, anywhere in the world, for death, including his own citizens; he does it in total secrecy and with no oversight; and this power is not just asserted but routinely exercised. The U.S., over and over, eradicates people's lives by the dozens from the sky, with bombs, with checkpoint shootings, with night raids -- in far more places and far more frequently than any other nation or group on the planet. Those are just facts." - Glenn Greenwald, "The killing of Awlaki's 16-year-old son".
