Where was anyone when this was reported? Don Obama.?

You do have a point, although you forgot to include this bit of information:

"Mr. Awlaki is an operative of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, the affiliate of the terror network in Yemen and Saudi Arabia. They say they believe that he has become a recruiter for the terrorist network, feeding prospects into plots aimed at the United States and at Americans abroad, the officials said."

If Mr Awlaki were living in the US, of course he wouldn't be targeted for assassination.

In the case of many Guantanamo detainees, their arrests were the result of unreliable reports. Holding them simply on the word of a foreign soldier or citizen, without trial, is wrong.

Having very reliable information that a person (on foreign soil) is participating in anti-US terrorism is far different.

And, that is still different than the American killing of thousands of foreign citizens on foreign soil.

I think you should lose 12 points for your inflammatory, incomplete, misleading question.

Yep it's true and very scary. Wikipedia has the whole story for the ongoing court case going on.

Now mind you I don't mind seeing this guy getting a bullet. But doing it this way is very unconstitutional. Im sure it has happened in our history that a american has been on a kill list, but don't publish it. When you do you open to constitutional law. innocent till proven guilty?

You will hear more very soon. because the ACLU and CCR have both filed suit. Obama will have friendly groups biting him very soon.

How is Obama far Better Than Bush Lets Start with no Attacks on American Soil.you cons should Like the Way he's going after one Guy unlike Bush using 35,000 Troops and not getting his one guy

Holy Smoky Ny York Time right wing?????? Pardon me I have to pick up my teeth after that ludicrous statement right wing??? NY Times is about as far right as People's Weekly or Pravda.

NY Times? Why not just use the National Enquirer.

I have no idea if that is true or not, but one has to be very naive not to know how government agencies work.

Obama is guilty of War Crimes.

But Democrats Support Obama's War Crimes.

War Crimes are OKAY when Democrats do them.

Cool!!!!

to those who support this guy in the white house are dead. dead from the neck up

More rights for domestic terrorists! They are people too!

NY Times is your source? LOL. They are the Farthest Right Paper in the country.
