The most extremist power any political leader can assert
is the power to target his own citizens for execution
without any charges or due process, far from any
battlefield. The Obama administration has not only
asserted exactly that power in theory, but has exercised
it in practice.
Even as a UK citizen I shall recite the following:
Dear Mr Franklin, Sorry its taken me a while to catch
up. I promise to stay on the ball from now on.
