| With the assassination of Anwar al-Awlaki, the United States enjoyed a military victory at the expense of its constitutional principles. Awlaki, a American citizen of Yemeni descent, was killed Friday in Yemen, where he had been in hiding since 2007, by a Predator drone without any attempt at capture or any attempt at due process of law.
Yes, he was a terrorist. But he was also an American citizen, which means he was entitled to certain rights. That fact alone should be a point of serious concern....
Simply put, the president of the United States ordered for an American citizen, like you or me, to be killed. Accordingly, he was blown up without due process.
