“Rand Paul says they should be spared if they happen to be US citizens or they live here. I say no.”
Not ‘spared’, but if IN the US, given due process - then executed.
One mistake Rand made was giving a ‘touche’ to Dick Durbin, imo. Durbin tried to make the point that OBL was no imminent threat when he was killed - in an attempt to oppose Paul’s (and others’) views that the concept “imminent” had been redefined by Holder to justify using drones when there wasn’t an immediate threat or where capture wasn’t feasible.
But that isn’t that good of a point to offer a ‘touche’. IF we had drone capabilities in WWII, we would have used them against Hitler whether he was at a cafe, eating, sleeping, wherever - and who actively planned attacks even though he posed no ‘imminent’ threat himself. OBL was a known enemy, and had committed known enemy actions - not some figment of Obama or Holder’s imagined possible threat that they would try to justify using the White House ‘white paper’.
