Awlaki made himself not one bit different from OBL and al Zawhahiri. He made himself an enemy and mortal threat to Americans. He removed himself to where he could hide out in a foreign country, out of reach of U.S. law enforcement. There has to be a limit beyond which someone has de facto denounced U.S. citizenship and become a proactive enemy.<br /><br />This is a new situation. Again, we do need a law covering it and to promulgate it so Americans who do what Awlaki did know the potential consequences.S.W.

The law is the law for all Americans and not disregarded for a select few. By your premise we should round up all the white supremacists and execute them with no trial.

Unfortunately, it still leaves some important questions unanswered.<br /><br />The tipping point for targeting Awlaki was when U.S. intelligence and/or the military determined he was no longer just preaching incendiary sermons but taking an active role in planning attacks against the U.S. It's fairly clear that the secret panel that made the decision it was time for Awlaki to go and the White House aren't about to tell all they know that went into making the decision. Doing that would probably compromise intel sources and could reveal methodology they don't want revealed.<br /><br />Organized international terrorism poses a different kind of threat than that posed by conventional national armed forces of a hostile country. Not by choice, we're engaged in what's really an anti-organized crime and anti-conspiracy to commit crimes campaign against fanatics who sometimes pose a military-type threat.<br /><br />Maybe we need some new legal definition of what constitutes being a traitor, one that carries the potential for being killed when and where that can be arranged. Promulgate that law so Awlaki types who'd rather hide out in Yemen and urge a U.S. Army shrink to go on a rampage and kill a bunch of innocent people will know where they stand.<br /><br />I agree the precedent is worrisome. At the same time, had it been left up to me, I would have said it was time for Awlaki to go too.S.W. Andersonhttp://ohpblog.ohpinion.comnoreply@blogger.com
