I am against the executive branch compiling hit lists of Americans, but I’m willing to pretend I don’t know anything about it in the case of an Islamic cleric named Anwar al-Awlaki who is an operative of Al Qaeda.
President huh authorized the what to kill who?
I think we all believe we know in our hearts that Anwar al-Awlaki has done plenty to deserve death, but there may never be any excuse or escape from consequences for circumventing the Constitution, lest bad precedents rule and be used as an excuse to kill without due process next time, too, on the basis of "C'mon, we all knew what a bad-a$$ (Conservative) he was! The world is better off with out him, just like it was when we took out Awlaki!"
You didn't complain then, did you!?
"So quit complaining about Rush meeting his maker before he did more harm to the regime!" (the FCC might say in a press release somewhere down the road.)
