So now the radical, American-born imam who may have encouraged the Ft. Hood murderer, Maj. Hassan, has his head in the cross hairs. Anwar al-Awlaki has been targeted for death by the Obama Administration. One wonders how long to wait for the civil liberties groups to start protesting this one. If they keep silent, they're hypocrites, since they screamed bloody murder regarding the PATRIOT Act, legislation which caused the constitutionally-protected civil liberties of, at most, a handful of people to be violated. (Anyone reading this know of anyone whose rights were violated? Didn't think so.) If they speak up in opposition, on the other hand, they are incredibly naive (as if we needed confirmation). What would they like the US to do? Put out a warrant for his arrest? We are at war, and what you do with your enemies in war is............kill them. This imam wants to incites violence against the United States? More power to him, but let him understand that he will pay a price.
Kudos to President Obama for this one. I hope that he will make future decisions in the war on Radical Islam with the same wisdom.
