    It's simple. If you don't want to get blown up by drones, don't act like fundamentalist right-wingers.

    I'm just applauding the sudden change of heart on his part. I'm sure Obama's supporters do too.

    The operative phrase in this discussion is "unfriendly US Citizens"

    Imagine the outcry if Bush targeted Anwar al-Awlaki.

    Are you waving Miranda rights in this case?

    You mean "unlawful combatants" on the "global battlefield" in the "new age of terrorism?"

    I'm sure there were American citizens who fought with the Japanese and Germans in WWII. I suspect Dick Winters and others didn't single them out for preferential treatment once the shooting started. If you attack the US military and its citizens, or plot to do so, you're a target.

    Funny that Democrats had a problem with that prior to 2009.

    Wonder what changed?

    It's too bad that Patrick Leahy is no longer a Senator. He would not let Eric Holder get away with this.

    Probably better information re the hornet's nest/shitstorm Fredo decided to poke his widdle stick into and stirred up, beyond the reaches of his limited imagination.

    God.
