“David Axelrod, a top adviser to President Obama, hit back forcefully at allegations that the White House deliberately leaked sensitive national security information. Attorney General Eric Holder has appointed two prosecutors to investigate the sources behind a pair of front page New York Times articles which quoted dozens of current and former Obama administration officials and revealed intricate details about the White House’s “kill list” and its cyberattacks on Iran. Congressional Republicans have accused the White House of leaking the information to bolster Obama’s political standing on national security issues…”.* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

Cenk breaks down the media swarm around the ‘kill list’ and Iran cyber attack intelligence leaks in Obama administration, and then calls out the news for playing the blame game instead of driving home the real point — the president has a kill list that could even target Americans in other countries. “But no one’s ever talking about that. They’re not even outraged by that,” Cenk says.

Via David Sirota/AM 760*: “The New York Times reports that President Obama has created an official “kill list” that he uses to personally order the assassination of American citizens. Considering that the government already has a “Do Not Call” list and a “No Fly” list, we hereby request that the White House create a “Do Not Kill” list in which American citizens can sign up to avoid being put on the president’s “kill list” and therefore avoid being executed without indictment, judge, jury, trial or due process of law.”

Cenk interviews BuzzFeed and “Rolling Stone” reporter Michael Hastings about the “kill list” of counter-terrorism targets being considered by President Obama for assassination. “It’s somewhat unprecedented the fact that these decisions are being made from the Situation Room, from the White House itself,” Hastings says.
