Protectionism for the U.S. tourist industry?
(full article at Raw Story)
Apparently, the U.S. government is saying they have the right to kill “suspected terrorists” living abroad, even if they are U.S. citizens.
I haven’t checked my renters’ insurance to see if it covers drone strikes or missile attacks, and don’t think I’m a “suspected terrorist” but what’s scary is that people think this is a good idea. What’s “suspected” anyway? (For that matter, what is a terrorist?) I suppose I suppose by this logic, the Cubans should start bumping off a bunch of geezers in Miami — some of whom are more than “suspected” terrorists.
And, Mexico would be justified in sending hitmen to do in your friendly neighborhood bank executive, who is laundering the money that keeps our “exporters” — sometimes called “terrorists” in business. And, of course, gun dealers.
And, on the other hand, there are some annoying gringos living abroad.

I’m honestly surprised that anyone would even consider such a measure. “Terrorist” is such an ill-defined term as it stands. Anyone who is a political inconvenience, including a peace activist who protests routinely at the gates of the School of the Assassins, is fair game if s/he goes abroad, it seems.
Of course, this is going to come back to bite them–there is certainly nothing to stop other countries from saying they will kill any gringo caught interfering on their soil. So far, only good sense inhibits them. Washington, take note!
