[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 1096414, member: 1246"] Pelosi would be calling for an armed coup if this was George W. Bush. Via [URL="http://washingtonexaminer.com/pelosi-obama-can-keep-drone-strikes-against-americans-a-secret/article/2521808?custom_click=rss"]Washington Examiner[/URL]: [INDENT]House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., believes that President Obama doesn’t necessarily have to announce that an American citizen suspected of terrorism has been killed in a drone strike. “Maybe. It just depends,” Pelosi replied when [URL="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/14/nancy-pelosi-drones_n_2685891.html"]The Huffington Post[/URL]asked her if “the administration should acknowledge when it targets a U.S. citizen in a drone strike.” When Anwar al-Awlaki was killed in a drone strike, President Obama announced the killing within hours. “People just want to be protected,” Pelosi also said. “And I saw that when we were fighting them on surveillance, the domestic surveillance. People just want to be protected: ‘You go out there and do it. I’ll criticize you, but I want to be protected.’” Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, responded less blithely. “Anytime the government willfully executes a citizen, regardless of the circumstances, it is a very serious issue,” Lee, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said in a statement to [I]The Washington Examiner[/I]. “As the body that oversees executive branch actions, at the very least, Congress should have a full accounting – even if it must sometimes be in a classified setting – of the specific considerations that went into the decision.” [/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
