"Yes they had been" what? "Yes they were" what?

There was never a trial for Al Alwaki, the courts would not even listen to his dad saying his son was targeted for assassination. And what was the act they were doing at the time they were blown up?

Hit the nail on the head. Killing an American citizen is a big precedent in itself- but we've also set the precedent of killing people at will outside a combat zone. Yemen is NOT a combat zone, no matter what some Conservatives like to think.

Many Conservatives live under this illusion that the entire world outside of the United States is some sort of hellish Leftist Muslim Dystopia, so dropping bombs on it is okay.
