I'm not particularly comfortable with this outcome. I would have preferred when we decided to target him a few years ago that we would have stripped him of his citizenship.
I see nothing wrong with that. Kill the bastards. All of them. The problem with our government is that we don't take decisive action militarily. If we had nuked Iraq in the first place we wouldn't be in the fiscal quagmire we now find ourselves in.
With OBL, there was a public price of $25M put in his head. Nobody stepped forward to defend him as if the accusations were false. And he took credit for killing 3000 people. With these guys, it was done in secret, and not on the battlefield where we had troops. We really should consider if we want to allow the president, no matter who he us, to be police, judge, and executioner. A trial was called for, even if the accused didn't show up.
Please refer to Teleprompter Jesus as "Nobel Peace Prize Winner"...thx. I think he deserved it, assholes.
A US Citizen who has not been charged with any crime. There were never any charges against these US Citizens nor were they ever even asked to come in for questioning. No evidence has ever been presented in any legal forum that even suggests they are guilty of any crime. Just like you or I. For all we know they were murdered to keep them quiet about government graft, or simply because they voted the wrong way. Which of us is next? The suspense is killing me.
It's been known for a few months that the American Awlaqi was on the death list. So his American father, who lives in this country, took it to court in the U.S. to prevent Obama from murdering him. The CIA-controlled judge said it was out of the jurisdiction of the court. The ACLU ought to appeal it to the Supreme Court.
You won't see me deny this dude was bad news. But if everyone I think should be killed was killed by the government without trial (or even an attempt at one), OJ and Casey Anthony (among others) would join Mr. Al-Awlaki as worm food. Fortunately, the Constitution says that BrianFromWA, the Police, and the President don't get to make that choice.
LOL at anyone that does not believe that CIA/gov't controlled assets actually exist. This guy was eating like a king at the White House shortly after 9/11...how many "terrorists" get that honor???
...so what are you trying to say here, that you actually believe Al-Awlaki's murder was unconstitutional?
