That Barack Obama has continued the essence of the Bush/Cheney
Terrorism architecture was once a provocative proposition but is now
so self-evident that few dispute it (
watch here as arch-neoconservative David Frum -- Richard Perle's co-author for the
supreme 2004 neocon treatise
-- waxes admiringly about Obama's Terrorism and foreign policies in the
Muslim world and specifically its "continuity" with Bush/Cheney). But
one policy where Obama has gone further than Bush/Cheney in terms of
unfettered executive authority and radical war powers is the attempt to
target American citizens for assassination without a whiff of due
process.
