61. There is inherently a slippery slope.
And you're taking their word for it that this guy is actually a terrorist. Do I think he's a terrorist? Yeah, I believe they're telling the truth, but why wouldn't they lie, when there will be no process, no trials, nothing but their word against a dead man's?

Anyone could be called a terrorist. And the slippery slope doesn't end with our good friend Obama, the authority slides downward and the chance for corruption, personal scores, individual craziness, etc., to make it possible for people to use the state as a murder weapon. And it invariably happens.
