I think bin Laden was fair game but I have pointed to other remarks on this thread that explain legal ways al-Alawki could have been killed so I don't even see this as an issue of whether he needed killing or not. IMO he did but my personal priority list would have put about 10,000 ragheads ahead of him.

My only issue is the rule of law. 0bama could have used at least two legal justifications to kill him but instead he created an entirely new presidential power to do it based on unnamed sources of witness, an unnamed panel's recommendation and no documentation of any of it. With that level of unaccountability no one can know if there were any witnesses to the criminal acts of the perp or if any panel of sources, experts or whatever they're supposed to be actually exists.

Disposal of the Constitution of the United States is not the remedy to dealing with bad guys. There will be no stopping an executive who controls all of the guns and military, if he decides to reorder the country. If his star chamber decides a one world government is in our best interest, then what now stops him. He is not compelled in his decision-making by the Constitution, only his ambitions...and those ambitions, unshackled, could destroy the country. This decision is much, much larger than the killing of al-Awalki. This decision is the exposure of a man who will stop at nothing to achieve an end, and is more than willing to destroy the Constitution in our name. Its for the children. It is for the American people. It is not a good thing to have a Jack Bower wannabe in the oval office. This hubris, without the chains of virtue and the constitution is a very dangerous thing.
