It seems to me only fair that President Obama and his national-security state cohorts publicly announce whether NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden has been added to the presidential kill list, like two other American citizens who were assassinated, Anwar al-Awlaki and his teenage son Abdulrahman. When the U.S. government targets an American citizen for assassination, it seems only right that they let him know that the hit is coming.
The sad reality, which the Snowden controversy is exposing, is that we Americans now live in a country in which the president, operating through his national-security state apparatus, now wields the omnipotent authority to kill any American he wants with impunity.
