Come on now... that's actual politicians and stuff... not just random interent goers.

That's totally different.

Correct.

I also would have accepted, "It's different when we do it!!!!11" or, "But that was under BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!!!!!"

To be fair Bush and U.S. Congress stripped more rights from US citizens than Obama could dream of yet Obama never repelled the Patriot Act.

I mean... Bush did strip a lot of peoples rights... but at least he didn't take your right to not be blown the fuck up by a drone whenever you decide to take an out of country vacation.

Or your right as a citizen to not be detained without due process.

Obama has taken away less rights, but he's taken away more critical core rights... and nobody has said anything about it because the people who normally would complain mosty feel the need to protect their guy.

Is the right of the federal government to launch drone strikes actually mentioned in policy? Was it previously forbidden by policy?

I know that the policy has recently changed to define "militant" as "young man who isn't proven to be a civilian", and that's pretty awful, but I'm pretty sure Bush claimed the right as well, he just didn't use it.
