Then there is the whole due process part. It’s been almost eleven years since these “Emergency Powers” were granted via the Patriot Act. Where’s the condition to simply ease up? Where’s the point where Obama can just release the secret evidence and details that Al-Awlaki and his teenage son were really guilty? And just let it be reviewed? Either way, the need for emergency suspension has been dragging on for years, and frankly, it sounds pretty old, we aren’t having these 9/11 events happening every year, everyone knows such people are dead, and let’s just release the information for history’s sake, if anything else. Either way, Obama’s whole process of saying not to ever question his so-called “infallibility” at finding people guilty, or infallible expertise on what should offend Islam, is highly suspect to me, this unconditional trust is disturbing, especially in someone holding such office as the president.

In conclusion, however, it’s also a problem when you have a populace who could care less about real potential rights violations as opposed to what the next episode of a popular tv show or the cool new Xbox 360 game is.
