“get yer head down”
Seems like good advice to me on this thread.
They have me outnumbered, BHF. :>)
Having him in the sights at that point in time.
When you got the deer in the sights you pull the trigger. You don’t call your wife and say, “Dear I have this awesome deer in my sights right now!”
fake american
2,300 drone strikes? That’s like two per day, seven days a week. And they complain over Gitmo?!

It looks like 0bamugabe's justification is that Awlaki "said bad things about America." That doesn't sound much like 'imminent threat' to me.
Who shouldnt ???
Obama has all the marbles errr drones...
Hes not going to share his toys...

George Orwell would recognize this corrupt, lying Administration.
Another consideration is that this technology will not be exclusively American for any significant length of time. When others build it, on what legal or moral basis can we say that they can’t use it exactly the way the U.S. government is using it?
That’s the Obama way...
Awlaki was scum. I have no sympathy whatsoever for him or any other American who would go overseas to give aid and support to our enemies in their designs to cause this country harm. He deserved his fate.
That said, hasn’t Obama crossed a line here in taking upon himself powers that not only cannot be found in the Constitution but rather blatantly contradict it? I mean, he is arguing that he is within his rights to order the deaths of American citizens without a trial. He has openly broken the highest law of our land. All of the legal arguments and case law in the world shouldn’t take priority over the Constitution.
Perhaps I’m off base here, in which case I apologize, but shouldn’t we talking impeachment? These powers he is claiming could theoretically eventually be turned against any one of us.
Obama Gives Himself Permission To KillAnd nobody cares.
Just make sure the government checks arrive on time. 
I don’t think you’re off base at all. No anonymously written tricked out DOJ “white paper” can ever trump the US Constitution. Obama is in open defiance of the document he swore an oath to defend.
You would have tags for that deer or you would be a poacher. Your argument is a non sequitur. Deer aren't American citizens.
We already knew Al Awlaki was a problem long before we located him. There was plenty of time to obtain a warrant. If you haven't got anything better than that, you don't have anything.
Extra judicial killings = murder.
Turns out that my quote was too optimistic.
What is this garbage from Napolitano? Is the War on Terror over? Last I checked, a bunch of camel-loving Al Qaeda affiliated terrorists in a desert area in Yemen are illegal combatants in a congressionally-approved war, even if some Islamist convert from Oregon decides to join them.
Funny, no one seemed to care when Obama acted in Libya without permission from Congress, or did nothing to stop our ambassador from being killed, but carrying out a sanctioned war on our actual enemies is some sort of controversy. WTF?
