And yet the American citizen has Constitutional rights,

From whence comes this sudden interest in the Constitutional rights of those who find themselves in the crosshairs of a government strike?

Let’s play a game:

Here’s the scenario…

A US citizen with aforementioned Constitutional rights has just murdered someone and has barricaded himself on the top floor of a building and continues to take pot shots at passersby, in spite of entreaties by the police to surrender.

Question: are the police justified in giving a sniper the go ahead to shoot him?

If your answer is “yes”, then why do you think the government was wrong to take out a US citizen member of Al Qaeda, planning terrorist operations against the US, while hiding in the mountains of Yemen?
