Was there any proof, besides what the administration claimed, that these muzzies were combatants? Were they actually engaged in combat or offensive operations against the USA or its citizens when killed?
The Germans wore uniforms, were killed in combat...big difference there vs. an American muzzie walking around in some foreign sand pit getting whacked by a robot just because someone gave an order.
Remember the Constitution? Sliding down a very slippery slope here, like another posited...how long before Tea Partiers, and the like are deemed terrorists or enemy combatants by our overlords and whacked with extreme prejudice on the orders of some faceless, nameless bureaucrat?
No thank you...the government should absolutely be held accountable for this, regardless of what I personally think of stinkin’ islamists...rule of law...it applies to all AMERICANS equally.
Was there any proof against Al-Alwaki?...lol, try to keep up.
He was a proven terrorist fighting against the US.
A combatant fighting against the US in a foreign land, is a combatant and a US citizen.
There was nothing unlawful nor immoral done by killing him.
