I know alot of people have their political bias. I am curious though. I could care less about the "American" Anwar al-Aulaqi who was killed. Guy has been linked to 9-11 and was working with terror groups in a time of war.

However, i am intrigued by the fact that the President can use drone strikes on Americans on U.S. soil.

I do not believe in the government take over plans, like most of my army buddies do, but this does seem odd. The only thing i can see it being used for that would be acceptable is deadly force in extreme situations, like hostage cases. Similar to the way police can use deadly force. Other then that, I think there needs to be some serious explaining.
