The guy they just arrested, YES.

Awlaki was on foreign soil and an “officer” in a terrorist group that is at WAR with us. He is therefore a valid target. IMO.

I missed that. I’ll have to go read the headlines.

Well, we are both armchair “lawyering” and see it differently. I’m picking nits over his US citizenship status as I find it repulsive and think it is contrary to the precepts of a free society that the US Government could take out one of its own without due process, irrespective of the suspect’s feelings and actions toward the US. I’d really like to hear the SCOTUS on this but like I said, it’ll be a cold day in hell before that happens.
