Holder: No Drone Strikes On Americans in US, Except In 'Extraordinary Circumstance'

The Obama administration has no intention of carrying out drone strikes against suspected terrorists in the United States, but could use them in response to “an extraordinary circumstance” such as the 9/11 terror attacks, according to a letter from Attorney General Eric Holder obtained by NBC News.

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who received the March 4 letter from Holder, called the attorney general’s refusal to rule out drone strikes in the U.S. “more than frightening.”

The letter from Holder surfaced just as the Senate Intelligence Committee was voting 12-3 to confirm White House counterterrorism adviser John Brennan to be CIA director. The vote came after the White House agreed to share additional classified memos on targeted drone strikes against U.S.

With the new 2700+ MRAPs that DHS just bought - looks like they're preparing for civil unrest...like when the country goes under due to our Illegal Alien President!

I would guess "an extraordinary circumstance" would include citizens disobeying an order taking away their constitutional rights.

And how can we believe anything that Holder says. He is dumber than a fishing worm.

I'd like to know how a drone could have helped stop the 9/11 attacks?
And, like you 4:52pm, if I see one over my place., I'm hunting back.

There is a petition online to prosecute Holder. I recommend each of find it and sign it. Also send emails to your senators and congresspeople.

The government and especially the police are getting out of control.

How could we ever doubt Holders' words or wisdom?
After all, he has the record for honesty in government and character! NOT!
One day you'll get to see via investigation just HOW MUCH of a LIAR he really was....
