[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]That is a headline that you should -- but probably won't -- see coming from our usual Obama haters. As I discussed in this thread:

http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/100601.page

Obama placed Anwar al-Awlaki, a US citizen, on a list of people who could be captured or killed (essentially authorizing his assassination). Today, a US drone carried out the act. Of course everyone will immediately respond that al-Awlaki is a terrorist and has attacked America and so on. But, if there is so much evidence of al-Awlaki's guilt, why has there been no criminal indictment? Even bin Laden had been indicted.  Think about that. Bin Laden received more due process than this American citizen. Yes, yes, our CIA knows everything. If they say he is guilty, he is guilty. Just like Saddam had WMDs just like the CIA said he did. Let's just accept that the CIA is infallible. [b]In fact, why don't we just do away with our entire justice system and allow Obama and the CIA to run the entire thing?[/b]  Also, while we are at it, let's criticize a few more foreign leaders for killing their political opponents.

It is a government's duty is to uphold the law, but its prime duty is to protect its citizens. It is rare that the two conflict but when they do, the law must take second place to protection. This was such a case. Al-Awlaki had declared war on the US through the Internet. On his website, he called on Muslims to kill American soldiers anywhere in the world; he said it was an Islamic duty. In e-mails he encouraged US Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, to kill US soldiers; Hasan gunned down 13 at Ft. Hood in November 2009. The list of those with those for whom he was a spiritual guide and who carried out attacks is long. Last year he called on American Muslims to attack the US. Al-Awlaki's target was not only Americans who, he said, had to be killed “without hesitation.: Do you think we should send out a warrant for his arrest and wait for him to turn himself in? Do you have family members in the line of fire? Your quote that I highlighted above is childish and ridiculous. Killing al-Awlaki is hardly akin to " doing away with our entire justice system". Stop being a drama queen and face the reality of the world.[/quote]
