I think it is an objective FACT that Awlaki preached war against America and Americans. Killing him was lawful and moral. What you are demanding is that a sworn enemy of the American people should have nothing greater to fear than life in prison, no matter how many innocents he gets others to kill.

Again I ask what evidence is there that he actually bore arms against the United States? So far you have not provided it. And as far as me demanding anything I demand that the Federal government abide by its Constitution. And the Constitution clearly says that a person cannot be deprived of their life without due process. And don’t put words into my mouth as to what I am demanding.

In any case a decision was made to kill a U.S. Citizen abroad without any judicial review. This should frighten any U.S. Citizen. It basically means that the Federal Government can decide to kill anyone by executive declaration any time they want.

I am going to keep asking you for the evidence until you can provide it.
