There is one major problem with the heavy reliance on drone strikes under Obama, which I was thinking about since this happened and by chance Dana Perino mentioned on Fox at some point over the weekend. That is that we are just playing whack-a-mole when we do this, as it does not allow for the interrogation of the bad guy or even a chance to go through all his stuff and analyze seized data cards, thumbdrives, paper records, and computer hard drives. Basically it's like only killing the most-important-looking ants you catch in a restricted part of your house, say the bathroom; it does nothing to get to the basic problem of the ant nest, and they'll be back as strong as ever in no time.
I don't buy the unconstitutional meme. You can choose to look at it as he was an American citizen (As opposed to a dual citizen who made a de facto choice to abrogate the US side), but if you do, you have to also say he was an active member of an enemy engaged in organized, armed conflict with the United States and thus either a voluntary combatant (If an 'unlawful' one under Geneva/Hague) who falls into the first part of that "...against all enemies, foreign and domestic..." in the military oath, or else that he was engaged in insurrection, which falls in to the second part...and we all know the North didn't spend four years trying to arrest all the Southern soldiers.
dluengaged in insurrection.
