"I agree with thomas here"

I find Thomas' position here to be disturbing. Thomas seems to think that the only correct reaction to any government action in time of war is to quietly thank the benevolent government for taking that action, as it is inherently in the best interests of everyone. While Thomas is usually one to write some of the most object yet eloquent decisions you're likely to read coming from the SCOTUS, his writings on this topic tell me he's scared out of his mind of terrorists, and that he's running on emotion and fear when looking at these sorts of cases.

I find Scalia to be refreshingly courageous and originalist in his writings on this topic.

Then you must take one of two positions. Either the CIA/Military guys who fired the missile, as well as all in the chain of command that ordered it, should be charged with murder in the Sudan incident where an American jihadist was blown to bits while not pointing a gun at anybody or rights as an American citizen are geographically dependent.

Which is it?
