Secret panel can put Americans on "kill list'

http://www.reuters.com/article/2…
American militants like Anwar al-Awlaki are placed on a kill or capture list by a secretive panel of senior government officials, which then informs the president of its decisions, according to officials.
In an ironic turn, Obama, who ran for president denouncing predecessor George W. Bush's expansive use of executive power in his "war on terrorism," is being attacked in some quarters for using similar tactics. They include secret legal justifications and undisclosed intelligence assessments.
Liberals criticized the drone attack on an American citizen as extra-judicial murder.

What a second, shouldn't you Libs be up in arms over this kind of secret kill shit? Where is the ACLU?
Ohhhh wait, apparently you are, but don't know it.
Ron Paul thinks it's an impeachable offense: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-5035…
