Are those seriously the only options? Ignore, kill a US citizen with a drone strike, or have a full-out invasion resulting in hundreds or thousands killed?
Citizenship can be revoked, but I'm pretty sure that matter needs to be decided by a judge, not the President. Am I incorrect?
- tptacek 13y agoWhat's the other option you're thinking about? The US cannot unilaterally revoke citizenship.
- warfangle 13y agoI guess there's that whole extraordinary rendition / kidnapping deal, but that'd probably have a death toll in the twenties to two-hundred fifties, depending on the tactics used* *uneducated guess, informed by video games, with no bearing on real life whatsoever
- tptacek 13y ago"Extraordinary rendition" in al-Awlaki's case would have involved an invasion. He was hiding in a lawless province of southern Yemen controlled by AQAP.
