..American citizenship; it would seem likely, that at some point, in some war, a ranking military official has targeted a known American enemy collaborator and taken him out along with those with whom he was working. Can't cite an example, but would be surprised if there weren't precedent.

I suppose it boils down to the definition of the actions taken against terrorist over the past decade. Has it been a "War on Terror". Certainly, both recent administrations have used the "War" part of that to justify offensive action against individuals in groups planning and implementing plots to harm America and Her citizens. The fact that these "groups" do not comprise a "state" seems to be settled. I applaude the war footing that has been used to eliminate enemies of this country.

One from the left screaming about O'Reilly being a shill for the GOP, and one from the right bemoaning that Bill has gone the way of liberal apologist; both on the same story. These people are not thoughtful. They are simply emotion driven noise. I never said anything about being nice. Just don't get caught up in the low IQ of the mob. Be hard, be ruthless, drive the wrong thinkers and left leaning non thinkers out. But do it with proven fact and policy. We don't need to submit to hyperbole. We don't need to distort the facts.
