OF ALL the people in the major media, we really didn’t expect MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann to report this story, which was leaked to the New York Times and the Washington Post back on April 7. In short, the Obama administration has claimed the right to assassinate American citizens with no oversight or due process of any kind.

Glenn Greenwald of Salon.com spells it out:
