Personally, I have no issue with what took place in Sudan. I'd have no problem with US soldiers, per rules of engagement, killing a threatening American citizen on the field of battle.

This is not what happened. No US soldier was anywhere near the American jihadist when they sent the missile up his arse. This incident is right on point. I understand you're position but I don't agree with it in these specific cases.

I'm looking for consistency from you and Scalia. Either enemy combatants of American citizenship are protected or they aren't. The Sudan incident was either a legitimate act of war, it was murder or geography modifies the constitution.

I explained the distinctions for each individual case, as well as my position in each individual case. Please don't take my explaination for one, apply it to another, and say I'm inconsistent. :)
