US Carrying Out Secret Assassinations

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Seymour Hersh recently broke a story on secret US assassinations during the Bush administration. Death squads went to dozens of foreign countries and took out "high-value" targets without knowledge of both the local CIA station chief or the US Ambassador. Apparently and to no surprise, these were conducted under the direction of Dick Cheney. Such killings are in direct opposition to the Constitution, international law, and basic ethics. Moreover, under the guise of the "War on Terror", executions also took place far from any battlefield in Central and Latin America.

This should be really alarming, but we are all quite used to it now. In fact, these extradjudicial murders still take place with drone attacks on Pakistani soil and missile strikes in various parts of the world such as the Sudan. Just add this to the long list of George W Bush's reknowned legacy. This leads to a more important question: Is Barack Obama also continuing this illegal and illicit Bush policy?
