2. There was a process involved, just not one you agreed with...

Huge difference.

That being said, this is DU, not FreeRepublic. Calling the president a criminal is out of line!"I liked to go at night when I thought there was a better chance of finding a fight. I was always looking for a fight. I had not known I was capable of such rage. I knew I had been cheated of a future, but I felt I'd been cheated of a past, too. The underpinnings of my life had been kicked out from under me... and it wasn't just the loss of Neilia and Naomi." - Joe Biden

54. Well, now that I have the name of the American citizen in question, I can opine. Mr. Al-Awlaki was

given the due process afforded all members of Al-Qaeda under the War Powers Act as invoked by the AUMF of 9/18/2001. Any member of Al-Qaeda can be targeted and killed, at anytime, outside of US custody.

My suggestion is that you read the decision in the suit that his father brought---the judge found that Anwar Al Awlaki did not wish to be a party to the suit--if he did, he might refrain from posting videos on YouTube long enough to secure representation. Thus, the father had no standing.
