I want to be clear it seems Anwar al-Awlaki was a bad person; however, my biggest problem is the manner in which this was carried out, who determines if one including american citizens are terrorists? Who determines if one is guilty of treason? Who determines if one is guilty of a crime? It seems that one man, the president of the united states can make that call without any charges or trial or evidence that is presented to a grand jury. This is a very dangerous policy and we as americans should not take it lightly.
I have seen on message boards today on many MSM websites THAT HE WAS AN ENEMY OF THE STATE so he should be killed, again I say, who gets to make that call considering he was never convicted of anything in our legal system.

I was just thinking about this a couple of days ago. As the election approaches every American should be reminded that Obama has set the precedent for the American president to be judge, jury, and executioner without due process of law.
That being said, this guy probably got what he deserved. But that isn't really the point is it? The point is that this was not done the AMERICAN way, that being with due process of law.
I really don't care what anyone else thinks about this. This man was an American citizen. And as such, was entitled to due process of law. It has been years since the SCOTUS pronounced terrorism to be a
crime, not an act of war. A
crime is prosecuted in a court of law.
This killing has changed the world for every American on the earth today and for every American to ever walk the earth until the end of time. IMO, Obama is an
enemy of the state at least as dangerous, probably more so, than this guy.
