MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul is condemning the Obama administration for killing an American born al-Qaida operative without a trial.
Paul, a Texas congressman known for libertarian views, says the killing of Anwar al-Awlaki on Yemeni soil amounts to an "assassination."....

Yeah....so?
Who opened the door to his padded cell?
wRONg PAUL is a retard.
Don’t insult mentally challenged people that way, they can’t help it. Treason is probably a better term.
This is why I don’t care for this nutcase; he’s strongly Conservative and a Constitutional supporter, but in the areas of Foreign Policy, he’s an isolationist and non-real-world Eutopian.
Our nearly robotic flying killing machines can’t be expected to check out birth records when they shoot someone, or blow them up even!
This is why this man can never be President. He missed the part of the Constitution that required "to provide for the common defense".
I like much of what he says domestically, but could never vote for him in an election (well unless the only other choice was Obama).
*facepalm*
Theres plenty of historical precident. American Germans who went to fight for the Nazis were not assasinted, they were just killed. They chose to become enemy combatants. That should abrogate any citizen rights. (Now, lets talk about Jane Fonda.)
Ron wouldn’t have lasted long in Dodge City.
His words are full of sound and fury, signifying...nothing
That was an act of detain or dispatch an internatonal criminal by deadly force, ordered by our government, not an “assassination” of a political foe
May the hearts of our Ft Hood families be a little lighter today
May the hearts of the passengers who survived the underwear bomber’s attempt to down that Detroit-bound plane on Christmas...be a little lighter
May the hearts of the survivors of the Flt77 that dove into the Pentagon on 9-11, commandeered by 2 of Awlakis cohorts and admirers..... be a little lighter
And what was the murder of almost 3000 people on 9/11/01, mostly Americans? Suicide?
This delusional man needs to STFU. He will never be considered a viable or serious presidential candidate. Go home little boy.

Ron Paul and his drones are deeply saddened today.
This guy is a nut case.
This is a war, this was an actor working for a foreign entity against the US in said war. As another poster said, you abridge all citizenship rights when you take up arms against your country. Legally, that would be considered a act of expatriation by renunciatory action. (US 349.7)
In other words, to take up arms against the United States for a foreign actor is legally considered a self-revocation of citizenship.
