President Obama willingly admits he dispatched CIA agents to kill an American and his teenage son and the son's American friend while they were in a desert in Yemen in 2011. He says he did so because the adult had encouraged folks to wage war on the United States and the children were just "collateral damage." He says further that he'll do this again when he is convinced that killing Americans will keep America safe. He says he knows the adult encouraged evil, and his encouragement caused the deaths of innocents. The adult was never charged with a crime or indicted by a grand jury; he was just targeted for death by the president himself and executed by a CIA drone.
International law and the law of war, to both of which the U.S. is bound by treaty, as well as federal law and the Judeo-Christian values that underlie the Declaration of Independence (which guarantees the right to live) and the Constitution (which permits governmental interference with that right only after a congressional declaration of war or individual due process) all provide that the certainty of the identity of a human target, the sincerity of the wish for his death, the perception of his guilt and imminent danger are insufficient to justify the government's use of lethal force against him. The president may only lawfully kill after due process, in self-defense or under a declaration of war.(emphasis mine)

Obama went after Al-Awaki. I’m sure he would never think of going after any “Constitutional terrorists and enemies” in this country though, right?
Have to agree, you know he had no problem pulling that trigger on an American. We know he doesn’t care about traitors one way or the bergdhal.
Yeah, I trust Obozo’s judgement on which Americans need killing! NOT!!!
Wonder how long before a CIA employee questions an order? Not until after we have a Republican president.
Then read Travis McGee’s The Enemies trilogy.
People, we are there.
“An American Citizen who goes abroad and sides with the enemy loses all Constitutional rights.”
I’m with you - they are worse than a foreign enemy. We may not support much of what Obama is doing, but this is one area that I will stand behind him.
We don’t need these Osama wannabes tarnishing the image of this country - it’s bad enough to have the people at the top doing that already.
Meh, I don’t care what Judge Paulbot thinks, traitors deserve to burn.
