165. Please tell me what the standard is to label someone a terrorist

by decree.

The 'war with AQ' is no different than bush's global war on terror. Ridiculous.

We are not at war with Yemen. Guess what else AQ lest Yemen. They went to Somalia. The idea that a US citizen can be labeled a terrorist, and then when the missiles go after him, because the missiles go after him, declare he is on the 'battlefield'.

If he were killed as a result of Yemeni action in their war, that is one thing.

But, to bring our war there for one person that we have deemed a terrorist is chilling.
