Secret U.S. Memo Made Legal Case to Kill a Citizen

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration’s secret legal memorandum that opened the door to the killing of Anwar al-Awlaki, the American-born radical Muslim cleric hiding in Yemen, found that it would be lawful only if it were not feasible to take him alive, according to people who have read the document.

My Take
Where are the hypocrite democrats? They accused Bush of being trigger-happy with Iraq, and they even sided with private Bradley. Now, their man—Obama II, is a making Bush to appear like an amateur. In less than six months Obama II, has overwritten the Geneva convention by assassinating unarmed men. This is what they could not hide-how about behind the scenes? The SEALS will tell it to their buddies in about a decade, as they normally do.

Granted that both Bin Laden and Awlaki were at war with the US, but were they armed when we killed them? Bin Laden was not, and no one is alive to tell us about the US Citizen. Is the US not a signatory of the Geneva Convention?

Killing Bin Laden and dumping his body at sea saved lots of aggravation, Killing Awlaki probably saved aggravation too; but it is un-American to kill people who could have been tried and sentenced to death--by justice.

Can we in all honesty call upon the Geneva Conventions when the shoe is on the other foot? When China copies our deeds, can we tell them that they are not civilized, and that they are not respecting the law? Sorry, both the CIA and Obama II have created a very bad situation for our soldiers when the will become POWs, it will happen. Where is the liberal cry?
