Once you embrace the bin Laden Exception, how does it stay confined to him?

Der Spiegel, long established and respected German magazine, asks this trenchant question (loosely translated):

Under what 'law' was OBL assassinated without a trial ?

Along those lines, can you please cite the U.S. statute that governs here???? And would that same statute allow for similar hit jobs on others???? If so, where do you draw the line and say, "This far, and no further?"

As EFerrari trenchantly points out upthread, exactly what is the 'battlefield'? I think she's saying in a round-about way, "Are we dispensing with all boundaries?"
