THE ABOVE MASS MURDER OF THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT AMERICANS WAS THE INHERITANCE OF 8 YEARS UNDER THE CLINTOONS.
— Section 2-305 of Executive Order 12036, signed by President Jimmy Carter on Jan. 24, 1978, broadens the prohibition from "political assassination" to "assassination" generally.
— Executive Order 12333, signed by President Ronald Reagan on Dec. 4, 1981, specifies that assassination is against the law and contrary to U.S. policy. Section 2.11 of the order, which is labeled "Prohibition on Assassination," says "no person employed by or acting on behalf of the United States Government shall engage in, or conspire to engage in, assassination." The next section (Section 2.12) states "no agency of the Intelligence Community shall participate in or request any person to undertake activities forbidden by this Order."
You are a true patriot, sir!
Thank you.
It is simple to be one. Love America and help defend it against enemies at home and abroad.
They don't discuss the contents of his tirade... they only fawn over its presentation. To these morons it's not what you say... but how you say it.
I'm not getting this. One president's executive orders are not binding on a following president. It doesn't matter how may past presidents have allowed it to stand.
So I'm not seeing any violation of law here.
And as a matter of policy, is North is arguing for an outcome where we are not actively trying to kill bin Laden?

| "I worked hard to try to kill him. I authorized a finding for the CIA to kill him. We contracted with people to kill him. I got closer to killing him than anybody has gotten since." —Former President Bill Clinton, Sept. 24, 2006 Technically Clinton is confessing to a felony. As far as I know he never had a presidential finding to allow for the assassination of Bin Laden. All Clinton did was indict the guy. An indictment causes a warrant to be issued, which we all know is not an authorization to kill someone.

I have to say I am torn here myslef. At first I thought this would be a great piece to shove down the liberals thraots but the more I look at I have to wonder.
Is there a difference between bombing in Tora Bora and what BJ Clinton did?
This is a serious questionas I do not have a clue as to the answer.
But when Sudan offered him up on a silver platter, I didn't want to violate his right of habeas corpus.
....better put a tail on Berger,he's got more papers to "install" in the achieves

IIRC, The assassination issue came up during this administration. I'm pretty sure that it is limited to Head of States and SADDAM was the issue.
If that is the case, he should have led with that. I think that is valid.
But North's accuation that Clinton "broke the law" is, in this rare case, unjustified. That North doesn't see that, and that he leads with that, renders his whole article sort of useless.
IMHO.
I authorized a finding for the CIA to kill him.
Sometime you have to read the words. What is a finding?
"During Clinton's admin, UBL knew he wasn't being hunted, not seriously in any event. His movements weren't hindered.
Since 9/11/01, he's either already dead in a hole or holed up somewhere.....in a hole. There is a difference?"
Only in the drugged out eyes of the GW Haters.
