To the Editor,

With regard to the November 5, 2002, Oregonian headline, "Missile fired by CIA drone kills top al-Qaida official." Is this the "New USA?" Killing suspects by missile and trying them via news media.

You better not get on Mr. USA’s bad side. You will no longer have a chance to defend yourself in court and possibly be found innocent.

Have the Israelis now taught us how not to bother with justice? Using military hardware to do police work.
