> Disposition Matrix, informally known as a kill list

God, I wish this terrible term didn't remind me of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuEQixrBKCc

I don't like words that hide the truth. I don't words that conceal reality. I don't like euphemisms, or euphemistic language. And American English is loaded with euphemisms. Cause Americans have a lot of trouble dealing with reality. Americans have trouble facing the truth, so they invent the kind of a soft language to protest themselves from it, and it gets worse with every generation. For some reason, it just keeps getting worse. [0]

Wonder how much sleep Obama's been getting these days.

Oh my god. If Trump would introduce something like that the entire internet would explode.

already exists for a long time.

"If"?

I think the relevant part of the page being "Developed by the Obama administration beginning in 2010"

I'm not sure why that's the relevant part, but the part of the Obama administration responsible was CIA director Brennan, who was doing similar stuff during the G.W. Bush administration and just happened to give it an official name while Obama was around.

It's nowhere near the first kill list the US has had, it's just the first one called "Disposition Matrix". Previous administrations had other names. For example: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_actions_of_the_CIA

He'll probably be on Hillary's kill list, at least.
