[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]With videos and attacks linked to him, wouldn't we have more than enough evidence to convict? [/quote]

I would question whether there is evidence of his being involved in attacks. But, for the sake of argument, let's agree that it would have been easy to convict him. That makes the lack of even a simple indictment even worse. What if he had been arrested in Yemen or some other country? The US wouldn't even have an indictment or arrest warrant prepared. That suggests that there was never any intention of dealing with him legally.

Now that there is a precedent that Americans can be killed on nothing more than the president's go ahead -- with both Republican and Democratic support for the precedent (we few dissenters should move to Yemen) -- is anyone concerned about what limits, if any, exist on such killing? Al-Awlaki has received "Hitler of the Week" treatment for some time now. So, understandably, everyone thinks he deserved to be killed. But, now that the precedent is set. Whose next?
