Perhaps the legal justification needs to be abstracted from specific cases. Only if a specific case fulfills the justification can that justification be used in secret prior to full execution of that move which then requires full disclosure in post mortem of the event. A non-indefinite yet reasonable time limit should be another requirement that forces either rescinding the justification and/or requiring full disclosure.

This way a justification can be made without details being made public that would alert a sensitive target. It is also necessary to make sure that a potential authorized kill could not be held open indefinitely and the details released publicly in a timely manner.

Where is Jason Bourne when we need him?

I use Trillian and avoid going to FB.

You missed the part where the idiot got served. He's lucky he didn't get any charges besides his unpaid parking tickets. Next time, let's see how the cops react when he points a "cookie gun" at them.

The last data I had seen (when I'd voted), had Miley Cyrus ahead by millions of votes. When did Snowden jump ahead? Was that 4chan "to the rescue"?

What do you mean by "never need the Inquisition"? The CIA/DIA/NSA Inquisition has been happening 24x7 for years now; we just haven't been privy to it.

The actions of Snowden are far more likely to cause war than stop it. Some of Francis' actions are more cause to stop "holy war" than anything else.

Money isn't always enough. Sometimes numbers of volunteers are needed more than money. Money doesn't buy help, it just buys getting some jobs done.

And yet highway robbery is the dirty secret the transportation industry doesn't want people to know about. It's an increasing trend in the transportation industry to install hard/software that allows for better tracking and incident reporting. Everything from robbery to driver "safety" ratings and insurance investigations.

Isn't it safer to assume that something is unsafe, rather than to assume it is safe?

I was on a domestic Delta flight recently and someone brought a trombone case and 1 personal item without issue.

I'm not sure what is worse, pigs or chickens.

You're forgetting past history and the present times. It's not just Bill. IBM and Xerox before Bill Gates was worse. Apple now is far worse than Microsoft was in the "golden days".

Microsoft stole ideas, improved on them, and made them accessible to the public for far cheaper than anybody else. It wasn't just anti-competitive practices that put them at the front.

Apple stole ideas that others have done, improved on them, and made them accessible for a price HIGHER than everyone else because of marketing. It isn't just their anti-competitive practices that have put them at the front.

If you are going to make a claim to history and "you had to be there", then remember ALL of history and don't be condescending and assuming it was someone young that voted you down.

jQuery does not actually solve every possible cross-browser compatibility issue. I still occasionally have to code around some browser issue, especially considering the lack of good plugins to support localStorage.
