Hint to the rev quoted in the article: Your right to speak freely is a totally different matter than your church’s IRS status. No one took your right to speech away. You can talk all you want — but now you have to pay taxes for your church.

It’s not exaggerating to say that the Obama administration is, in some respects, just as scary as Bush:
The Obama administration urged a federal judge early Saturday to dismiss a lawsuit over its targeting of a U.S. citizen for killing overseas, saying that the case would reveal state secrets.
The U.S.-born citizen, Anwar al-Aulaqi, is a cleric now believed to be in Yemen. Federal authorities allege that he is leading a branch of al-Qaeda there.
Government lawyers called the state-secrets argument a last resort to toss out the case, and it seems likely to revive a debate over the reach of a president’s powers in the global war against al-Qaeda.
