Are you familiar with the White House disposition matrix kill list? Excerpt: [ow.ly/BtiRy] The president has final approval on each targeted killing, which is usually carried out by CIA drones remotely operated from American military bases around the world. Because targeted killings are considered a military operation within the scope of war, suspects are not notified, charged or tried before being targeted. In late 2011, a line was crossed — three Americans associated with al-Qaida were killed by counterterrorism drone strikes in Yemen, including a 16-year-old boy who was not a target. Heres how the disposition matrix works — and how it could be applied to terrorism suspects on American soil... ================== Sources cited in the article suggest “it takes several steps to get on the disposition matrix.” However, investigative journalists like Jeremy Scahill have proven that insinuation false, clearly demonstrating that being added to the bloated, ever-growing list is often based on very arbitrary reasoning.

Does that sound like America to you?
