Wow, this makes the evil Boosh using Gitmo as a detainee holding pen look like a mere scuffing of human rights compared to the full-on abuse of this American citizen's rights.

Yep, you read that correctly. Obama is going to kill an American living abroad without so much as a trial in absentia. No presumption of innocence here, not so much as a fair-thee-well to the time honored principle of at least attempting to capture this guy. No, they are gonna zap him but good. Niiiiice going, Obama. So much for those happy, fairyland ideals of undoing the nasty brutality of the previous administration. Hypocrites.
"It is extremely rare, if not unprecedented, for an American to be approved for targeted killing, officials said."
So before we get any further, let's give Jophiel his chance to pithily dismiss this in a two sentence response with the typical smiley face at the end. As for the rest of you, I can't wait to hear how you rationalize this to justify the killing of someone without his due process.
