I'm not a citizen either.

I don't think that alone should remove the requirement for due process.

If your prez thinks I'm a terrorist, there has to be some kind of trial, even in my absence, where an attorney or someone can argue my case on my behalf.

All was trying to say is that we have to have action! The system is completely broken and we are only driving faster toward the cliff. {even though I agree with some of it}... So far we have nothing.

Perhaps the issue is that it's not really a foreign country... ?

It says foreign armed forces engaged in hostilities against the United States, or armed forces of any foreign country...

Maybe he did realize he was at risk, but nevertheless I've not seen anything
to show that he met the requirements of renouncing US citizenship.

Sullied or not, stating an "intention to relinquish" is like pledging in a fund-raiser,
it only matters when the check is cashed.

I think Bruce is saying that he "cashed the check" when he joined "foreign armed forces engaged in hostilities against the United States"

That's why the US has Courts...
Killing first and asking questions afterward has serious consequences.

Oh Good GOD! you have always seemed to me to be more intelligent than this statement makes you sound.

They apparently got his son today in another strike ...

Maybe I saw the article you're referring to here.
I had to read it several times to sort out the business about the "son".

But I came to the conclusion that part was just reporting the Sept events,
and the "son" was Anwar al-Awlaki and it was his death they were describing.

There was also a description of drone attacks on the building where the two men,
Awlaki and Khan had been for a meeting, and the the drone attack on two cars.

But I have to say I did have trouble understanding the wording in this article.

no no no...
Pretty good article here

OK, you got it right...

ETA: I read the article in your link.
It is much more explicit and clear.
Good choice...

Isn't that now 3 American citizens killed by US drone attacks.

Yes, and the media would rather focus on Cain "the pain" instead of this.
interesting?

Good rid-en's to all of them.

I had no problem with killing this guy, or the 21 year old son following in his footsteps.

But now I'm seeing that the 21 year old son was actually only 16 years old.

WTF? We're now killing American citizen children? Sure, odds are that this kid would grow up to be a terrorist since we killed his dad. Just ask Inigo Montoya about that.

But we killed the evil dad, and then two weeks later remotely killed the child and a bunch of others enjoying a BBQ. What was this kid's crime? Did he renounce his citizenship too? I have a hard time believing he had committed the same crimes as his father.

Edit: Alright. I see that Ibrahim al-Banna was also killed in that strike on the son, and he was considered by the Defense Ministry in Yemen to be one of the “most dangerous operatives” in al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. Maybe the boy was collateral damage.
