This certainly was no moral conversion by the White House suddenly succumbing to a guilty conscience. Certainly, this will only serve to make life even more miserable for the likes of those involved in the cover-up, as it will only create more questions, scandals, than it could ever resolve.
The political sinkhole has only just begun to crumble beneath the sorry as*es of those who have demonstrated the unmitigated egregious political arrogance that will soon have them a mere few inches from the drop down platform they so justifiably deserve.
It's not yet a Republican 'Christmas' but I am certain it's not very far off, with Hillary's chicken farm coming home to roost that will have schadenfreude re-defined in a wholly nearly unrecognizable way.

These guys are so scared they’re outing themselves just to avoid another scandal, and I don’t think it’s going to work.
I can see a scenario where a U. S. citizen could be included in a strike. If it’s a terrorist camp, why not?
As for Lefties, are they going to see it that way?.
I think the sheen is peeling off this road apple.

Anwar al-Awlaki, a radical Muslim cleric A Falls Church VA cleric who previously preached in San Diego and before that, Denver.
American born to foreign parents, I bellieve they were here on a student visa but may be wrong. Anwar al Aulaqi/Awlaki is connected to the 9/11 attacks, the Toronto 18 assassinations plot, Ft Hood Massacre, Virginia Jihad, Boston Marathon bombers, Times Square Plot, the Christmas Day undybomber, the attempte assassination of the Saudi Intel chief, and a host of other plots.

I have no problems with the US targeting US citizens involved in hostile acts against the US on foreign soil.
I DO have problems with attacks on US citizens on US soil not engaged in active acts of war.

Now he is connected to the pointy end of a pitchfork, or to something equally appropriate as he boils in a pool of whatever was selected for his encounter with eternal justice.

There's no excuse for secrecy that I see. If there were national security considerations, possible, I'd like to know what changed today.
That said, irrespective of how one feels about killing vs capture, if you're on the wrong side in a combat zone which Pakistan and Yemen should be if they're not officially, the President doesn't even know who we're fighting, I've no problem with this.

This is not about waiting for another shoe to drop, this has become a tap dancing theme.
More like the sound of a summer thunderstorm with hail dropping down on a hot tin roof.
Mr. BO Scandals tap dance.

EXACTLY :That is what they are counting on now ~ low information voters’ forgetfulness
standard Obammunist modus operandi : deflect, divert, deny , delay , delay , obfiscate , delay , blame it on others , then get indignant and state “ ..at this point , ..what difference does it make ? “.

No. I’ve heard of it but I haven’t watched it.

RE: his administration on Wednesday formally acknowledged that the United States had killed four American citizens in drone strikes in Yemen and Pakistan.
One of them is Al-Awlaki.. We all know that. Who are the other three? Are they Al Qaeda?

Waiting for another shoe to drop ? nope, more like setting a new tone for tap dancing with all these scandals.
Mr. BO Scandals.
I knew a man BoScandals and he'd danced around truth, with his worn out lies.
Silver hair, ragged shirt and baggy pants, with bold crA$$ lies.
He'd jump so high, he'd jump so high, then he lightly touch down? Mr. BoScandals, Mr. BoScandals, dance.

You are precisely correct!
