To the Editor:
It seems that president Kadyrov of Chechnya is a thug, a despot and a toady of Moscow, responsible for the deaths of many of his countrymen. It seems that president Obama of the United States is a civilized man trying to extricate his country from military and crises. In the matter of extra-judicial killings however, the two are indistinguishable. Until mr. Israilov and mr. al-Awlaki are convicted by duly-constituted courts, they are innocent men in the eyes of the American law. For a president to order such men killed is to abandon the rule of law and the legitimacy of the presidency.
