Ron Paul, the Texas congressman who is seeking the GOP presidential nomination, on Friday criticized the Obama administration’s action in killing Anwar Awlaki, the American-born cleric who advocated jihad against the United States.
Paul was the strongest critic on the Republican side in condemning the attack, which was praised by other candidates including Texas Gov. Rick Perry. Former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson, a libertarian like Paul, also questioned the tactic of killing a U.S. citizen without due process.

That’s why I will never vote for Ron Paul. He has a soft heart for terrorists and is too much of a RINO for me.

...the American-born cleric who advocated jihad against the United States.Hmmmm...the word "allegedly" is notably lacking in that sentence. I'd say he got due process, and in the bargain, his reward in heaven for being martyred. Thanks for playing, Anwar.

Come on Ronnie. Lighten up! Barry was still in the fart sack with Moochelle dreaming of the land of ice cream cones. The CIA and U.S. military operatives took these aholes out and made the world “a better place”.

Obama made the right call on this one, but it does open a door that could be quite frightening.

Obama made the right call on this one, but it does open a door that could be quite frightening. Make up your mind. Does the CIA have the power or not? Yes but it's scary?

Do the Armed Forces have the power to shoot a traitor in the middle of combat?

I have no problem with this killing. He is an avowed enemy of this country, and we are at war with his forces.
