I heard it discussed today at length on NPR. His father appealed to the US courts on his behalf, and the courts ruled that if he wanted protection under the constitution he could petition himself, but that his father had no standing.

I hear what you're saying. But, in this case, I can't get too worked up about it. Sometimes real life intrudes on pure ideals. I respect that the ACLU shines light on that kind of thing, but it's my right to decide that, while it may not have been the best case scenario, this guy needed killing.
