If you are a FReeper, then DUCK!
Sucks when the criminals are in charge huh?
And this comes from the same crowd, who demanded civilian trials for Gitmo inmates.
If he is a part of al Queda, he may be a citizen but he is no American.
Drones taking them out would put other people at risk. Collateral damage. If we know who they are, and where they are, send in SWAT, or the FBI, or some other ground team.
The Post writes that “U.S. officials have not revealed the identify of the alleged operative, or the country where he is believed to be located, citing concern that disclosing those details would send him deeper into hiding and prevent a possible drone strike.”
Hmmm - I would think that the terrorist just may have gotten the hint about being targeted. Name and country - How many American citizen plotters are there in the mid-east. If there are more than a couple, wouldn’t they all go “deeper underground?”
If his passport is cancelled and his citizenship somehow taken away, can he just cross the border from Mexico and be given amnesty?
any doubts the POS in the WH or the cowards in the congress would not turn armed drones on Americans within the US? Remove that POS before he unleashes the drones on us.
he’s wrestling with how he can best get away with it and best position himself to do it again inside our borders.
So, why is he still an...... "American citizen"?????
Causes of Citizenship Loss:
U.S. citizens are subject to loss of citizenship if they
perform certain acts voluntarily and with the intention to
relinquish U.S. citizenship. These acts include:
- Entering or serving in the armed forces of a foreign state engaged in hostilities against the U.S. or serving as a commissioned or non-commissioned officer in the armed forces of a foreign state;

I find the whole drone thing tiresome.
A drone is merely a somewhat more powerful sniper with the capacity to shoot people 10,000 miles away. If it is legal and justifiable to take a guy out with a sniper team, it’s equally justifiable to take him out using a drone.
If not, not.
Whoever makes the decision to pull the trigger and the guy who actually pulls it are entirely responsible legally for whether they took the correct action. If they are not justified legally, they are subject to trial for whatever crimes they may have committed in the process.
>> She also said that the memo makes the case that the U.S. government “doesn’t have to try all that hard to capture someone” if they are in another country and trying to grab them would be an “undue burden.”>>
Is it just me or is the above sentence refuting itself?
Yeah sure. He is probably an American citizen named Kwazi al Kwazi, How long do we keep up this farce to the effect that Kwazi, Ole Hoss Pedro, the local drug lord, and Ching Ching the Chinese army Colonel are really American citizens? Egalitarianism is going to kill us.
So when does Obama get another Nobel Peace Prize?
Ping.
yeah I saw this on all the major news networks and all the liberal groups like code pink and hipster peacenicks were staging a huge rally in protest.
Oh... wait... I am thinking of something that happened seven years ago... I think Bush cut someone off in traffic or something and the media had a fit about it saying he hated black people and kittens.
SMOKE 'EM. Don't try to over-analyze it.
And no, this has zero application to U.S. citizens residing in the U.S., so don't even start.
Sure would love to see some smart son of a guns take some “drones” and follow around some of these gub mint muckey mucks.
See how they feel.
