[quote=jsteele]For all of you who believe there are truckloads of evidence about al-Awlaki's guilt, read what the US State Department had to say:

"It's interesting," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said at Friday's daily briefing amid a barrage of questions on the airstrike that killed al-Awlaki in Yemen. Nuland said she asked State Department lawyers whether the government can revoke a person's citizenship based on their affiliation with a foreign terrorist group, and it turned out there's no law on the books authorizing officials to do so. "An American can be stripped of citizenship for committing an act of high treason and being convicted in a court for that. [b]But that was obviously not the case in this case[/b]," she said. "[b]Under U.S. law, there are seven criteria under which you can strip somebody of citizenship, and none of those applied in this case."[/b]

So, there was not even enough evidence to strip al-Awlaki of his citizenship, yet we are supposed to accept that it was perfectly okay to kill him?
