There is a really simple answer to this problem. Do a trial in absentia (since he was in Yemen), there was plenty of eveidence, revoke his citizenship. Then take him out.

Exactly how civilized people should protect their citizens. Bravo!
I wish more FReepers were paying attention enough to understand the importance of what you just wrote. This is the way it's supposed to work. What Obama did was assassinate an American citizen.
Who's next, the Christians who refuse to side against Israel when Obama decides that Israel needs to give up part of Jerusalem?
Yes, this guy had it coming but it should have been decided in a Court of Law. Yemen isn't even a theater of war for crying out loud, so you can't even make the case that this guy was on the front lines. Furthermore, technically speaking, for this guy to have been a traitor, we have to be in an actual war. When was war declared and what opponent nation did this jackwagon join?
Sorry guys, I want him as dead as the rest of you but his status as an American citizen complicates matters.
Either the Constitution applies to all of us or it doesn't apply at all.
