A QUESTION For Everybody...

If Bill really did order BL's assassination, wasn't he in violation of the prohibition against direct assassination enected by Ford and Carter, and upheld by Reagan????

Doesn't it apply EXCEPT in a time of war??
I don't remember Billy declaring War, do you???

Interview Quote"I authorized the CIA to get groups together to try to kill him."

In a section of the order labeled "Restrictions on Intelligence Activities," Ford outlawed political assassination: Section 5(g), entitled "Prohibition on Assassination," states: "No employee of the United States Government shall engage in, or conspire to engage in, political assassination."

Since 1976, every U.S. president has upheld Ford's prohibition on assassinations. In 1978 President Carter issued an executive order with the chief purpose of reshaping the intelligence structure. In Section 2-305 of that order, Carter reaffirmed the U.S. prohibition on assassination.

In 1981, President Reagan, through Executive Order 12333, reiterated the assassination prohibition. Reagan was the last president to address the topic of political assassination. Because no subsequent executive order or piece of legislation has repealed the prohibition, it remains in effect.

With regard to Osama bin Laden, in 1998, after the bombing of the U.S. embassies in Africa, President Bill Clinton issued a "presidential finding" authorizing the CIA to initiate covert operations overseas to foil and, where possible, prevent terrorism by bin Laden's al Qaeda network. The finding seems not to have been converted into a Presidential Decision Directive, as these are numbered and identified sequentially for 1998. (It is possible, however, that a portion of a PDD in the 1998 series remains classified.) President George W. Bush reportedly extended this authorization when he assumed office, but again there is no indication of which, if any National Security Presidential Directive is involved.

The use of an executive order, rather than calling for legisla-tion, aids the President’s power in that it enables him to possess an order far morebroad and flexible—and it gives adversaries pause as to whether it may be re-versed if the President is sufficiently provoked

Hey…it's all about Clinton's SHAWDOW war against bin Laden, a U.S. Intelligence Asset…when it comes to killing bin Laden, Clinton is all hat…NO CATTLE, as CLINTON himself facilitated Corporate Sponsored Terrorism throughout the entire Third World! Terrorism isn't usually waged against a military target…it's usually waged against innocent, unarmed civilians who happen to own land, oil, or mineral rights coveted by Fascist Corporate Globalists, and is usually waged by proxy armies, trained, supplied, and supported by their Corporate sponsors…thereby circumventing all Humanitarian (Geneva) Conventions.
