Target an American with drones?

Hello readers , by now you could tell I'm not a supporter of the Obama Administration but i wanted to share this article with you "Target an American with drones " The author brings a few good points its a little concerning how they are being used on Americans. One, Obama has pushed for drones strikes more then any other president but he has my support on this issue. 


I'm sure by now we have heard about the NSA and CIA listening in which is a little concerning. But if they are listening in to these "Muslim Extremist" by all means. Readers are these people truly "Americans" do they value our freedoms , pride and or way of life ? The author states "U.S. officials are now debating whether to kill with a drone another American citizen who is part of al Qaeda and believed to be plotting attacks against the United States, a senior U.S. official tells CNN". Readers, We are in a time of war, and i totally agree anyone that is going to these "High Risk" areas should be investigated. The author ends his argument with that it should be under a decision to kill one of their own should also be subject to judicial review. Again, I disagree with his statement here is why. When i was overseas we had intelligence of a HVT "high value target" which was one of cell leaders of a terrorist group in Iraq. We raided his home in the middle of the night, but couldn't question him because of Iraqi law. He was later released, and caused 7 american deaths. The point is , at times we don't have time to do things by the book. If we have evidence on someone that maybe committing acts of terrorism with ties to these "Muslim Extremist" we should support our government.
