“When Congress approved the post-911 ‘Authorization for Use of Military Force’ on September 14, 2001, Democratic Congresswoman Barbara Lee of California was the only member of the House to vote against it. The Authorization for Use of Military Force has been used to justify torture, warrantless surveillance, and now summary execution of terror suspects – including at least three US citizens, among them a 16-year-old boy – by drone strikes. That measure is the American equivalent of the ‘Enabling Act’ passed by the German Reichstag in 1933 – a blank check for both foreign military adventurism and domestic repression.”
