Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) is escalating his criticism of the White House’s decision to kill Anwar al Awlaki, the U.S. citizen targeted for allegedly working with al-Qaeda. Paul warned that if Americans do not protest the assassination, Washington will eventually put journalists on its hit list.
“Can you imagine being put on a list because you’re a threat? What’s going to happen when they come to the media? What if the media becomes a threat? … This is the way this works. It’s incrementalism,” Paul said.
