It seems that all of the world’s halfwits are going to write at Veterans Today. Our spotlight shines on the latest Marjorie Cohn<\/a>. Some of you old timers may remember Cohn from the book review TSO wrote about her tome<\/a> “Rules of Disengagement: The Politics and Honor of Military Dissent”. She also defended Matthis at his administrative hearing for his discharge and managed to get him the maximum penalty. Yes, she’s a member of the communist National Lawyers Guild just like James Branum.<\/p>\n

In Veterans Today<\/a>, she tries to make the case that the killing of bin Laden was illegal;<\/p>\n

Extrajudicial executions are unlawful, even in armed conflict. In a 1998 report, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions noted that \u201cextrajudicial executions can never be justified under any circumstances, not even in time of war.\u201d The U.N. General Assembly and Human Rights Commission, as well as Amnesty International, have all condemned extrajudicial executions.<\/p>\n

In spite of its illegality, the Obama administration frequently uses targeted assassinations to accomplish its goals. Five days after executing Osama bin Laden, Mr. Obama tried to bring \u201cjustice\u201d to U.S. citizen Anwar al-Awlaki, who has not been charged with any crime in the United States. The unmanned drone attack in Yemen missed al-Awlaki and killed two people \u201cbelieved to be al Qaeda militants,\u201d according to a CBS\/AP bulletin.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Blah, blah, blah. I’m pretty sure that Cohn and her crowd are just mad because bin Laden isn’t being held prisoner in the US and provide them with another site to which they can flock and fleece the public for donations to their anti-American organizations. When you’re a hammer, everything looks like a nail, when you’re a lawyer, everything looks like it can be litigated…including wars.<\/p>\n

Let me remind you of a bit of the history of the NLG. In the opening days of World War Two, the NLG was pro-Hitler and protested our impending entry into the war. that is until the Germans invaded Stalin’s Soviet Union, then they advocated for our participation, just like the Communist Party of the USA.<\/p>\n

Thanks to TSO for the link. he seems to be spending way too much time at VT these days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
