It has happened. Actually, it already happened. The US government has admitted to purposefully targeting and killing an American citizen, Anwar al-Awlaki, via drone strike in September 2011. Dubbed a "radical Muslim cleric," this American citizen was in Yemen when he was targeted by a drone strike and killed, along with another American, Samir Khan. The son of al-Awlaki, also an American, was also killed in a separate attack in Yemen. The final American killed was Jude Mohammed, which occurred in Pakistan. This coming out right before President Obama is to deliver a speech to defend drone strikes. I think it is high time the government answer for these murders of American citizens. While only Anwar al-Awlaki has been admitted as being a target, killing Americans overseas is just as good as dragging them out of their homes in an American town and executing them in the streets. It is a violation of our American rights. It is indeed sad that the target was under suspicion of planning attacks against America, but if we do not have evidence enough to try American citizens in court, is it validated to murder them?
