I am appalled. Not very surprised, but still appalled.

It's one of the 3 things that Obama did (or didn't do) that disappointed me the most.

I assume one of the others was ordering a drone strike on a US citizen with none of the usual due process in finding someone guilty.

This is still shocking to me. And no matter how dangerous this guy was, opening the door on killing your own citizens seems far more dangerous.

How is that different from killing somebody’s else’s citizens?

From a personal and ethical position, not much.

From a legal and societal position, huge.
