Las Cruces-Born Terrorist Killed

Anwar al-Awlaki
CBS - Yemen's Defense Ministry claimed Friday that Anwar al-Awlaki, a radical Islamic preacher believed to be a high-ranking member of al Qaeda's franchise in the region, has been killed. Al-Awlaki, a U.S. citizen born in New Mexico, has been linked to al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula's (AQAP) attempted bombing of a U.S. passenger jet over Detroit on Christmas day, 2009, and is thought to be a leader of the group. A Obama administration official tells CBS News senior White House correspondent that the U.S. government has "high confidence" the Yemeni's report is accurate, and al-Awlaki is dead. U.S. officials consider him a most-wanted terror suspect, and added his name last year to the kill or capture list - making him a rare American addition to what is effectively a U.S. government hit-list.

Murdered. He spoke out. He urged others to act. He did not act himself. He was not tried in a court of law.

Yeah...wasn't tried in a court of law, eh? Well...where's the body? Shouldn't we FIRST produce a body? How about if we produce the body first, do some DNA testing, to make sure he got what he deserved, and then lets expose everyone who's crying foul for him so that the surviving victims of HIS ATROCITIES can determine how they want to proceed in exacting their own pound of flesh for the deaths their loved ones suffered, at Anwar al-Awlaki hands and advocacy, WITH NO TRIAL of course? How about if we do some exposing of those persons and THEN perhaps they can have some "eye for an eye" justice? You know...Charles Manson didn't kill anyone either. Unfortunately, we live in a world where slime bags like this can commit treason and murder from remote areas of the world with impunity...except for drones. It's a brave new world. The videos and audio of Anwar al-Awlaki(that confirm his identity),calling for the murder of innocent people is all the evidence necessary to sanction, approve and support our defense resources in taking action to remove Mr. Anwar al-Awlaki from the human gene pool, POST HASTE. There's an old saying, "What comes around goes around". No one deserved a more fitting fate. The world is not only a safer place but a better place absent Anwar al-Awlaki's potential to add to the heinous contributions he's made to humanity. I doubt any of this ludicrous talk of "due process" will survive the weekend news cycle. Most of us have but two words to offer, "good ridden" and/or "well done".

One must stand for one's principles. Murder is murder and is prohibited by the Lord. Killing in self-defense is not.

Just who decides whom shall be killed and for what reason. Today it is this man. TOmorrow, you????
