They were, they were being hosted by the Taliban.
Man, you are all screwed up. Al Qaeda was supported and encouraged by the CIA.
Nope, the Taliban.
The AUMF wasn't limited to Al Qaeda. Since they posed an immediate threat to Americans, the targeted killing of known enemy combatants of those groups was not extrajudicial. IMO it's especially true if those enemies were traitors, who joined forces with the terrorist groups.
I agree, of people not within the jurisdiction of the US constitution....but Americans are, even if they are overseas.

What Exactly Is the War Powers Act and Is Obama Really Violating It?
The Obama administration is certainly sidestepping the controversial law known as the War Powers Act, but in doing so he’s following a well-worn path.
President Obama is facing a swell of bipartisan criticism for continuing military engagement in Libya without congressional approval. Even supporters of the Libya intervention have complained that the administration is flouting the law.
So, is it?
Well, the president is certainly sidestepping the controversial law known as the War Powers Act, but in doing so he’s following a well-worn path.
This week, a bipartisan group of 10 House members—a combination of Republicans and antiwar Democrats—sued the Obama administration this week over the War Powers Act
No, the Constitution only applies to folks within it's jurisdiction, that includes Americans, anywhere. Obama killed a 16 year old American, that wasn't even actively fighting anyone.
Cool, yes, Boenher isn't a judge, and made it clear he doesn't support the law. Not sure your point?
But he was speaker of the House and was not powerless.
Powerless to decide if a law was Constituitonal or not.
Apparently not if you join a terrorist organization and actively plot and especially use your knowledge of America to kill Americans. Of course if you hang out with terrorist like that, you too might become collateral damage.
Do you have evidence the 16 year old American joined a terrorist organization? Did you present that to a Court? Did the 16 year old get notice? did he get a chance to defend himself?
Never said he did. His father sure did. Hanging out in lawless places where terrorists who declared war on Americans get bombed, got bombed. That is what happened to his son.
So now under Dem regimes children aren’t entitled to due process and can be summary executed because of something their father might of done
No no, daddy was a grease spot before Jr. decide to hang out with Al Qaeda. What kind of family lets a 16 year old hang out with terrorist?
You mean after you join or start hanging out at some terrorist organization and use your knowledge of America to help the terrorist attack and kill American women and children? Probably so.
