Thing is, if they're American citizens, the Constitution says they should receive DUE PROCESS...at least of some sort.
Remember when Bush caught that scumbag who was trying to blow up a dirty bomb? Or that John Walker Lindh asswipe?
The left boo-hooed all day for those idiots. But they weren't executed--today, Obama and his thug Eric the red are killing Americans THEY "deem" to be dangerous.
How long until they target other Americans?
How long until we are all “associated forces”?
I don’t know if Americans working with foreign enemies on foreign soil and who are supporting violence against America or American interests deserve due process but I’m no constitutional scholar.
Those who were eager for police to accumulate drones may one day rue that desire.
we bend over and ass kiss the Fort Hood shooter, Nidal Hassan, and almost toss out his case because he can’t grow a beard during the trial.
Meanwhile we just pick them off like flies in foreign theaters. Why don’t we just try Hassan in Afghanistan?
Play dodge the drone.
Sorry folks... But Americans that join Al Queda need to be killed just like any other terrorist scumbag. It’s a war paradigm, not a law enforcement paradigm. I’m suspicious of Obama’s motives just like everybody else... And I’ve got my own end-game stockpiles... But this doesn’t scare me. It’s a confirmation of— indeed a vindication of Bush policy on the very same matter. We don’t need be going into foreign lands to pull American Muslim slime out for prosecution. We need to just exterminate them alongside their vermin buddies. They joined the enemy. This is a capability that any President will need for many years to come. Unfortunately that also includes the doofus currently in office.
This isn’t about launching drone strikes inside the U.S. against the Tea Party. If he was really going to do that he wouldn’t need to bother making it legal. The time for that will have been long gone.

If you go over and work with the enemy don’t you automatically lose your American citizenship?
At first pass, one would think that "firing on American citizens" meant troops in the streets with rifles.
However, it could mean firing drones at Americans in other countries, too, without due process.
Thoughts?

Obastard tears another corner off the Constitution.
this will be useful as they have thousands flying over the CONUS right now.
Waiting expectantly for Obama's "if I had a son he'd look like Abdulrahman" speech
This Brennan guy is the same one who had the passport files of Obama - hacked & fixed/deleted/cleaned. Or perhaps they were hacked just for fun.
Oh- one minor detail - the guy who actually performed the hack was killed shortly before his trial.
They need to issue a program, so we can keep track of all the actors and players.
