Were the Weavers doing so as enemies of the United States of America seeking her destruction?

All it takes now is a secret panel telling the pres. that they were. No other justification is necessary anymore.

It is not difficult to imagine what obama would have said if President Bush had ordered the assination of an American citizen. Obama is not the supreme law of the land, the Constitution is the supreme law of the land. Only, obama made himself a law unto himself, executed an American citizen based on an unlawful recommendation by a constitutioally unconstituted body, of which we are told there is not written record. All we have is the word of Obama that this person needed killin'. Were others killed in the attack. Were they in need of killin'? Collateral deaths? The capriciousness of the violation of the Constitution by a man who swore to preserve, protect,and to defend that very Constituition should worry anyone who might, in the future, disagree with mr. obama.

To kill or not to kill al Aawlaki are not the only choices. There were other choices, just as there were other choices in whether or not to invade Pakistan and kill binLadin. Several dozen men went into the binladin compound, apparently with little resistence and the order to kill had been give. I wonder if binladin had been captured would we have been able to extract a lot of information we do not now have....but the order to execute was given. I wish we had killed binladen near the Kiber Pass with all of the bombing. His death is not the issue. The invasion of Pakistan and the order to assinate is the issue. Now, we have a Commander-in-chief who issues assination orders on Americans and Non-americans, based not upon due process, but a star chamber whose names we don't even know. That is not the Free Republic of our Constitution for which Americans stand. There is a better way. Theres must be a Constutional way.

Are you equating the Weavers with terrorists?
