Citizens that were killed:[quote]
Anwar al-Awlaki: radical cleric[b](it isn't a crime to be Muslim or passionate about it)[/b], allegedly the inspiration for several plots against the U.S
Samir Khan: al-Qaeda propagandist[b] (Also not a crime)[/b]
Jude Kenan Mohammed: [b]possible [/b]plotter in 9/11 anniversary threat
Abd al-Rahman: Anwar al-Awlaki's son([b]Not a crime[/b]), 16 years old[/quote]
Does it worry you that these Drone Strikes are now Judge, Jury, and Executioner? Even though you're in another country it doesn't mean you lose your rights. They had the RIGHT to a fair trial, we see the Muslim name and then we assume they're foreign. Even when commiting treason, YOU NEED A TRIAL.

The point, since no one got it, is that the US Government, or agents of the US Government acted like they were above the due process guaranteed these citizens. No one, Arab or otherwise, should be executed without the benefit of a trial. We claim to be a nation of laws, but allow our government to behave like it is above them.
