And you are a senior leader in ALQ? I can't see a problem with killing EVERY radical islamist regardless of citizenship as fast as one can draw a bead. Why should US citizenship shield somebody like Anwar al-Alaki? You think George Washington would hesitate to pull that trigger on Benedict Arnold? I don't. This war ain't nearly over.

I agree. We're not on the same battlefield of the last century. We'd be amiss to not address the asymmetric, non-uniformed, non-state actor threat we have today.
With that said, I'm not a fan of the current execution as it's quite arbitrary with little oversight on the national command authority. There isn't enough protections built in.....and if there are, we should know about them. Transparency and all that.

Oh, I'm not.
But that's not important.
What is very #$%&@$% important is that nobody in some DC basement thinks I am. Otherwise, my first warning of their ____-up will be a Hellfire coming through my ceiling, and all my lawyer will be able to do will be to whisk-broom my remains into a freezer-baggie to use as evidence in None Of Your Goddam Business v. United States.
