>>Did the attack happen in a war zone? Was he on the good guys side or the bad guys side? Would it be practical to bring all the bad guys back here for a trial? Do you really think your birth place can exempt you from being a casualty in a war? Would you care to comment on the Bin Laden situation and Seal Team 6?
No. Bad. No. No, it was an assassination on foreign soil. Not related.
The point is, he is an American on foreign soil and was assassinated for a crime that he was never tried for. THIS IS AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION. He probably is two steps away from the devil’s uncle, but he still has the same rights and you and I do.
That's true, but if
1. I take up arms in al Qaeda, which
2. is a foreign military organization which has declared war against us and which Congress has authorized the President to make war against, and
3. I am in the field outside the ability of the US or one of our military allies to bring in peacefully, then
I may constitutionally be killed in a military operation in no different manner than any other member of al Qaeda operating in the field.
We probably could go on all night about this. We probably agree on most things. But not this. I have a hard time differentiating him from Bin Laden.
