I'm no fan of the current administration, but they did the right thing here. This is pretty run of the mill during war. We didn't go around arresting and trying all of the confederates during the civil war - we killed them because they declared war against the U.S. Much like american "citizen" in question.

Yes, we killed those that were actively shooting at the union, but we didn't go around killing unarmed citizens who were not posing an immanent threat. Hell, we are even giving Hassan a full trial, and he was the one actually doing the shooting. There is more proof that Hassan did the acts than Al Alawki doing any influencing.
