The Obama-Romney debate: Questions unasked and unanswered
18 October 2012


...

"
More significant than the questions asked were those that were not 
asked—and could not be. Such as:

* Mr. President, precisely what is your legal justification for 
assassinating US citizens without any judicial process? When asked 
whether the administration’s claimed right to target people for murder 
applied to citizens within the US, FBI Director Robert Mueller earlier 
this year said he was “not certain.” Do you consider yourself justified 
in killing any US citizen just on your own say-so?

* President Obama, is it true, as reported in the New York Times, that 
you have a meeting every Tuesday to decide personally who will be killed 
by US drones around the world? How many death warrants have you signed? 
Why has your administration opposed the prosecution of Bush 
administration officials for torture and domestic spying?

* This is for both candidates. What new wars are being planned behind 
the backs of the American people? What assurances have been given to 
Israel that the US will attack Iran next year? Is the United States 
prepared to go to war with Russia and China if they oppose such action? 
Will the United States use nuclear weapons in any such conflict?

* President Obama and Governor Romney, why is it that no banker or hedge 
fund manager has been held accountable for the Wall Street crash that 
set off the global economic crisis? Can you explain why the stock market 
and corporate profits are soaring in the midst of record poverty and 
mass unemployment?

* Democrats and Republicans are currently in negotiations to cut 
trillions of dollars in social programs. What cuts are you prepared to 
implement? Is not a basic aim of your shared policy of cutting health 
care costs a lowering of the life expectancy of millions of ordinary 
Americans?


The list goes on…
