LMFAO, Anwar al-awlaki? He was Al Queda, US citizen or not. That is a known terrorist. Justice was served. If you don't want to be killed, don't be or associate with terrorists. Pretty simple.

So as long as due-process is inconvenient, and the government says someone has done something, then there is no reason to give someone a fair trial before you kill them?

 

The road to hell is paved with intentions seen in dsgue3's post.  The thing is that you need to be able to confirm, in a court of law, that someone is a member or not.  What is going on now is problematic, because one is getting lax in regards to protecting the rights of U.S citizens.  The "war on terror" is being used to justify a lot of suspect things.
