I recently wrote something of a lengthy exposition regarding ex CIA analyst Michael Scheuer’s continuous characterizations of Osama bin Laden as at once Robin Hood, Saint Francis of Assisi, and Thomas Jefferson—that is, a man fighting oppression and tyranny, that and nothing more.

ON THE RECORD: Jan 3, 2014: Michael Scheuer Hates Tyrants and War
Michael Scheuer has written a column on his website titled "The desperate U.S.-UK relationship: Barack Obama, David Cameron, and the NSA/GCHQ issue." (Published Dec 23). In it he critiques Barack Obama and David Cameron for having "followed the lie-strewn path toward the West’s destruction first blazed by Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Tony Blair" and blasts Cameron and Obama for their fouled efforts in dealing with the Muslims on the world stage. He continues, "Obama and Cameron and their supporters in all parties would do well to read the words of the great 17th century English republican Algernon Sidney, a man who was revered on both sides of the Atlantic, who greatly influenced America’s founders, and who was executed by the British Crown for what it described as sedition" and ends up with "If he [a political leader] be justly accounted an enemy of all, who injures all; he above all must be the publick enemy of a nation, who by usurping power over them, does the greatest and most publick injury that a people can suffer. For which reason, by an established law among the most virtuous nations, every man might kill a tyrant; and no names are recorded in history with more honor, than of those who did it." I have read 4 articles which slam Scheuer's article claiming that Scheuer had " Endorsed Assassinating Obama Last Week" which is part of the article title by Matt Gertz at Media Matters. At News Hounds: "Fox News Regular Michael Scheuer Suggests Assassinating President Obama And David Cameron." At the Daily Beast (by author David Frum): "Michael Scheuer’s Meltdown." The 4th is not really an article but a notice on a blog called "Say It Ain't So" and includes a copy of the tweet by Gertz that said: "Ten days ago Michael Scheuer endorsed assassinating Obama. Last night he went on Fox (and then he links to his article on Media Matters.)It appeared that only people from the left were assuming the intention of Scheuer's article to be an assassination endorsement. Then I thought I found another affirmation from the right side in Moe Lane at Red State who penned an article "Prominent anti-war loon Michael Scheuer calls for assassination of @BarackObama." But After Lane attempted to reason Scheuer's comments to make that intention he articulates "Umm. NO." Lane clarifies that Scheuer is against war. Lane also admits to being against war. Who should not be against war?? Scheuer is also against tyranny. So are most sensible people. Scheuer's point I believe, was that tyrants are not bound by the law, hence it is not law that can remove them from power. Media Matters seems bothered that shortly after Sheuer's article he appeared with Lou Dobbs on Fox Business Network and since Dobbs didn't bring it up, Fox News must be endorsing the the assassination of Barack Obama and David Cameron. News Hounds follows suit but News Hounds only exists to be anti-Fox so its expected.

Oct 9, 2013: Live Leak: I'd Dump the Israelis Tomorrow --Ex-CIA Michael Scheuer Tells Congress
House Homeland Security Committee
House Homeland Security Committee
Michael F. Scheuer (born 1952 is a former CIA intelligence officer, American blogger, historian, foreign policy critic, and political analyst. He is currently an adjunct professor at Georgetown University's Center for Peace and Security Studies. In his 22-year career, he served as the Chief of the Bin Laden Issue Station (aka "Alec Station"), from 1996 to 1999, the Osama bin Laden tracking unit at the Counterterrorist Center. He then worked again as Special Advisor to the Chief of the bin Laden unit from September 2001 to November 2004. Scheuer became a public figure after being outed as the anonymous author of the 2004 book Imperial Hubris, in which he criticized many of the United States' assumptions about Islamist insurgencies and particularly Osama bin Laden. He depicts bin Laden as a rational actor who was fighting to weaken the United States by weakening its economy, rather than merely combating and killing Americans. He challenges the common assumption that terrorism is the threat that the United States is facing in the modern era, arguing rather that Islamist insurgency (and not "terrorism") is the core of the conflict between the U.S. and Islamist forces, who in places such as Kashmir, Xinjiang, and Chechnya are "struggling not just for independence but against institutionalized barbarism." Osama bin Laden acknowledged the book in a 2007 statement, suggesting that it revealed "the reasons for your losing the war against us". In February 2009, Scheuer was terminated from his position as a senior fellow of The Jamestown Foundation. Scheuer has written that he was fired by the organization for stating that "the current state of the U.S.-Israel relationship undermined U.S. national security."
