The Fifth Amendment specifically states that the CIC can kill an enemy in a public emergency and he doesn’t need an indictment to take the puke to trial.

If it is the passage that I am looking at, it says "in times of ACTUAL war". Show me where Congress declared "ACTUAL war" on Yemen.

We are at war with a tactic -- "Terror" -- not a specific country, nor has the government specifically declared it only on al Qaeda. The legal options have been kept open to mean anyone, anywhere, any time the government declares you to be an enemy of the state. Obama was just the first to exercise this open ended option using extreme prejudice.

Do you think Al Awalki was a traitor to America and guilty of treason against the United States? It boggles my mind that Americans wanted this guy to be captured and tried in an American court. I hate Obama with every fiber of my being, but this was the right thing to do.

It PAINS me to say this, because I despise radical MoosLimbs, but yer right.
