re: #64 000G

Not so much ethical as legal and political, I would say. I am not lamenting that the man was killed, specifically. I am just wondering about the principle that set the actions in motion, if you will.

I think it sets a pretty clear standard, actually.

The American killed here was, for all intents and purposes, an open and avowed enemy of the country. He worked with the same terrorist group that attacked us on 9/11 to keep attacking and killing Americans.

There wasn’t going to be any bargaining with a fanatic like that. It’s not like a domestic terrorist asshole like McVeigh, since this guy went a whole bunch of steps further. He left America for Yemen and worked hard to push for and plan terrorist attacks here.
