There is no issue in killing an American traitor fighting with the enemy in a declared war. That is not equivalent to a government issuing an order for a targeted killing of an American citizen not engaged in active battle in a foreign country.
You do understand the distinction? I made that distinction when I posted. Please be more careful.
Are many of you just being inconsistent with your ideology because it's the Obama Administration pulling the trigger instead of the Bush Administration?
Not a bit. Are you being inconsistent with regard to the distinction vis a vis the Constitution? Absolutely.
This is a Congresionally-authorized war, and an easy argument can be made that an Al Qaeda camp in the deserts of Yemen is a battlefront on the War on Terror (and any American contained within an Al Qaeda camp is an assumed collaborator and illegal combatant), just as a similar target in Afghanistan would be, whether actively shooting at American troops at the time of the said drone strike.
I am careful; I disagree with your distinction. My point is that everyone here was "rah, rah, rah" and "let's roll" in 2002, and I know it's difficult to support Executive power 10 years later when Obama wields it...
