The circle is complete

This WashPost headline says it all: "Obama invokes 'state secrets' claim to dismiss suit against targeting of U.S. citizen Al-Aulaqi."

Assassination plot - check.
Against a U.S. citizen - check.
In a foreign country - check.
Without due process - check.
Executive privilege cited - check.
Government "state secrets" - check.

Poor Robert Gibbs. His head may explode on Monday.
