GOOD AND DEAD

There is some weeping and wailing on the left because due process wasn't followed.

Anwar al-Aulaqi, U.S.-born cleric linked to al-Qaeda, killed in Yemen

I read that this is a horrible thing and that more brutality will follow on the part of the US!

I have watched this guy for some time. I have read about his activities and listened to more than one of his harangues.

He is an American. Dual citizenship. He joined the other side. He is an operational enemy of the nation of his birth. Well, one of them. He is also a Yemeni. So, I look at this way. If you don't like killing Americans who have joined Al Queda and have run many operations against other Americans, then rejoice in the fact that the Yemeni side was killed and the American side of him was collateral.

I know. It is all semantics. But I have a hard time with the bleeding heart aspect of this kind of thing. This is a bad guy. If he were on US ground doing what he has done he would very well have been wiped out on a raid on his compound.

Whatever.

He is dead and so is his assistant also a duel Yemeni/American.

Good riddance.

Does that make me a fascist? OK.
