So earlier today we set the precedent of bombing American citizens if they're terroristy enough. They weren't in a war zone. There was no trial. It wasn't an accident. WTF?
Awlaki, I dunno, I guess you can make the case that he deserved it (fingers in all the recent not-successful bomb attempts, etc). But Samir Khan?

The one-time North Carolina resident, who U.S. and Yemeni officials say was killed with Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki in a drone strike Friday morning, used his knowledge of computers to help produce a glossy, Western-style magazine called Inspire that touted the edicts of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, or AQAP.

That sounds like freedom of the press to me.
If we can only win by fighting dirty, I dunno if it's worth it to win.
