In my cookie world, being a human being should give you a right to a trial before a summary execution.

Citizenship doesn’t have a damned thing to do with it. Supposing extrajudicial killings are ever justified, if we’re not sure enough to kill one of our own, we have no business killing one of someone else’s.

I don’t think of it as an execution, it’s more of an act of war, which some see as legally complicated by citizenship (although that shouldn’t be of much concern - if you’re on battlefield against your country, does it matter if you’re still a citizen?).
