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