Targeted killings: OK if Obama does it

Salon.com study finds "liberals" more likely to favor targeted killings once they know it’s Obama's policy.
                

Its fairly well documented in psychology (its just cognitive dissonance working) when people support things done by people they trust even if the thing is deplorable.

Its just an indication that people aren't as 'principled' as they might hold themselves out to be.

I'm more shocked that there needed to be a "study" conducted to confirm this.
