(376 posts)Three Americans were killed. One unfortunately was a 16 year old boy in which there are no details about why he was killed. But the father, Anwar-Al-Awlaki and Adam Gadahn aka Azzam the American were clearly members of Al Qaeda and making threats against the United States. Adam Gadahn has been CHARGED with treason and there was a reward for his arrest. There are videos of each of them making such threats and inciting violence against the United States in their role as a leader of Al Qaeda. We have witness the terrorism of Al Qaeda around the world. Al Qaeda has killed thousands of innocent people. These two ex -Americans were members of that organization. The part that I dont get is that there are people who present these two Americans as two Americans on holiday in the middle east that were killed by the US government but failed to mention that these two Americans were members of a terrorist organization that is on record by video and other international medias making threats against this country. It appears that there are people that are trying to scare us to think that this can happen to ordinary Americans abroad without presenting any evidence that it has happened to ordinary Americans abroad. I listened to TYT show on Feb 5 on Current TV. And I listened to Cenk arguing the fact that we are killing Americans without due process. What he failed to mention is that these two Americans were leaders in Al Qaeda. What he failed to mention that Adam Gadahn and Anwar-Al-Awlaki were charged with treason. What he failed to mention that the Yemen Government on the behave of the United States ,tried to capture Anwar-Al-Awlaki and was unsuccessful. What he failed to mention that Adam Gadahn was charged with treason and there was a reward for his capture. My question is, if an American citizen joins a terrorist organization in a leadership role that has been linked to thousands of killings of innocent people, should they get a free pass from the US Government? If they are hiding in a lawless country or a country that is unwilling to extradite or incapable of capturing Americans for trail in the United States for planning and inciting war against this country, should we just look the other way because we do not have the legal means to go after them? Should we just let them continue to incite terrorism against this country, which by the way is NOT Free Speech, because they are Americans? Someone please explain that part? I get they were Americans. I get they were targeted by this government. What I dont get is how to bring these people to justice. I keep hearing that the US Government killed them. I have never heard a solution of how to bring them to justice.
