It's certainly part of the reason why what I just postulated is the case, that we're spending all of this money, all of this effort, all of this time destroying our civil liberties, destroying our constitution, amendment by amendment. Simply in the name of a threat that is no more likely to kill us than lightning strike.
R.K.: Well, keep in mind that our current Attorney General, Holder worked in a law firm that represented multi-national corporations as well.
L.W.: That particular gentleman is as dangerous as anybody George W Bush ever put into the directorship of the Justice Department and the Attorney General's position. I have no trust for Eric Holder. Anyone who can stand up and say that due process does not necessarily include legal process, in my mind is a dangerous man.
R.K.: Tell me more about Holder.
L.W.: Well he is the guy who is given, as did Jay Bybee, and a number of other people, John Yoo and others in the office of legal council in the justice department which is sort of the president's legal think tank. He is the man who presides now over giving the same kind of things, in a more sophisticated fashion perhaps, that they gave to George W Bush; he is now giving to President Obama. The most egregious of which I just cited whereby he says killing American citizens with drones does go through due process. It's just not a legal process. Due process of course being a star chamber.
R.K.: What do you think will be the legacy of Barack Obama? If we look back in history?
