"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken

"A federal judge in New York ruled this week that the Obama administration may withhold from the public a document providing the legal rationale for the targeted killing in Yemen of Anwar Awlaki, an Al Qaeda operative who was also a U.S. citizen. But even as she did so, U.S. District Judge Colleen McMahon eloquently expressed her concerns about the existence of a secretive government program that not only assassinates those deemed to be enemies of the United States, but does so without judicial oversight."
