[a fool in paradise]

The Obama administration’s decision to authorize the killing by the Central Intelligence Agency of a terrorism suspect who is an American citizen has set off a debate over the legal and political limits of drone missile strikes, a mainstay of the campaign against terrorism.

And what did they think that cloak and dagger espioniage was all about?

Awlaki does not operate on US soil. If Bin Laden held "dual" citizenship would we be hesitant to take him out with a missile strike?

Awlaki is an active combatant in the WOT. As such, he’s fair game, just as Admiral Yamamoto was when we sent out a hit team of P-38s to whack him in WWII.
