It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

This is an old formula used by authoritarian regimes. Stoke chaos and blame scapegoats to justify the use of force.
