Military sued over al-Awlaki Yemen drone death

Obama's doing lots of things right,
but this certainly is NOT one of them.

His drone-dog needs to be curbed,
and bad, along with hit "kill list".


The very notion that a Constitutional
Law professor and scholar would be
doing this kind of shit as President
is over-the-top ludicrous and doing
MUCH damage to USA's image
abroad.

And he won't have Hillary to make a
record-breaking number of trips
abroad just to keep things patch up..

Families of Americans killed by drones file suit

The families of three U.S. citizens killed in drone strikes in Yemen last year, including militant cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, filed a lawsuit Wednesday that accuses top CIA and U.S. military officials of violating the constitutional rights of those killed.

The lawsuit, which was prepared in part by the American Civil Liberties Union, represents the most direct legal challenge yet to the Obama administration’s decision to kill U.S. citizens in counter-terrorism operations without open due process measures or scrutiny from courts.

“These killings rely on vague legal standards, a closed executive process, and evidence never presented to the courts,” the suit alleges.
