But you haven't said enough; it's far from over.
What does the Lamplighter administration do with him now?

Find the nearest carrier at sea and bring al-Awlaki back to the US
so he can face trial as an American citizen;
and if convicted, and whatever penalty is ascribed by US laws.

Impossible ? no
Inconvenient ? maybe
High crime or misdemeanor ? no
