I don’t believe that we should target and assasinate US citizens abroad without some kind of due process. Especially people guilty of propaganda crimes. While he may have ties to actual terrorism, he at least deserves a court hearing (even in absencia).
That being said, I probably wouldn’t have even went to war in the middle east. I would have been happier if we had given Blackwater $50 Billion and told them to go over there and kill anyone in sight that may be al quaeda - no questions asked. No respectful burials. Then burn down their houses and especially their Mosques. Put up signs saying that if we hear that a terrorist attended a particular mosque, that it would be destroyed. No matter which mosque! Then they could decide whether they wanna be a terrorist or harbor one. They could decide whether they wanna be personally responsible for destroying Allah’s houses.
But I digress. Just a daydream....
You sound like a founding father. As long as this guy’s been a problem I would think they had taken this case to some secret court. The Blackwater plan, brilliant.
