To be fair, I remember Bush saying or hinting we were going to do this, 911 was fresh in our minds, he explained the war on terror, war without borders, and I didn't have a problem with killing the "bad" guys.
But being forced to think about it on a different level, it's unconstitutional, and I regret that I so summarily dismissed it before. Who's to say it will stop with who we're told are bad guys? If they're American citizens they should have a trial, inconvenient and undesirable as that may be; they will hide behind "secret" evidence and "intelligence gathering". I know it's easier just to blast them to kingdom come but we are supposed to be a nation of law.
So I'm against it on those grounds. Sooner or later it may not stop with the bad guys or they will make an awful mistake or some other scenario.
Like Waco or Ruby Ridge? I’m glad Al Awaki is dead. Hopefully Gaddan or whatever his name is will be next. Would love to see that.
