Mookie is right here. Note that anyone who complained about gitmo, rendition, enhanced interrogation, etc under Bush should be enraged beyond bounds as this is far worse than all such non-lethal actions combined.
My passport says that joining a foreign military can terminate my citizenship (it says "foreign state"). I think that clearly since 9-11 we should have made that SOP. John Walker Lindh (sp?) should have had his citizenship terminated, for example so he could be dealt with without legal ramifications. There was no need to inform this scumbag Obama just killed, but to dot all the "i"s they should have officially removed his citizenship with the stroke of a pen before ordering him killed. Note that the requirement of it being a "foreign state" needs to be changed in the modern world of deadly, transnational, non-state actors.
