That has been said about every president. Please try to supply us with something worth "clicking". |

HOLY CARP!!!

What an odd thing to be worried about. |
| As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good? | |

Ooookay, are you trying to say these things will be said of Sarah Palin when she gets elected president with Rick Astley as her vice president? Just trying to connect the D'oh dots here. |

Rick Astley would be totally unsuitable as a candidate for VP for one reason, and one reason alone. He was born in Lancashire in the United Kingdom, very close to where I was raised incidentally, and there's some stupid rule. Then again, there may have been a precedent set by the current bloke if you believe what you read, so who knows? Apparently Alaska is part of America, despite being part of the Canadian mainland, so I guess Sarah's OK since she was effectively born in a US colony. (I know, I know, she wasn't actually born in Alaska) |

Are "Wanted Dead or Alive" instructions immoral and illegal? Never thought about it before. |

Mik: I am having some difficulty here understanding your position. If Awlaki is a fugitive who is actively carrying out a war of terrorism against the US -- and no one seems to be saying that is not the case -- then the President on behalf of the nation can act as he deems fit, especially given the Constitutional permission to Act, the Congressional authorization, and the SCOTUS rulings. It seems the best thing for Awlaki to do would be to turn himself in to authorities if he is as concerned about due process as you are. |

One can be tried and sentenced in absentia if that is the case. But who said he was a fugitive? There is a huge difference between detaining a person - see Padilla - and authorizing their summary execution. |

As I said, then it would be best if Awlaki turned himself in to the nearest US embassy to get this unfortunate misunderstanding all cleared up. I am having a hard time getting any outrage over this. Getting back to Big Al's analogy, he does seem to be an imminent threat if there is evidence in his participation the Fort Hood, Detroit and 9/11 attacks. Read up on him -- I am not seeing where the US is being wrong here -- he is entrenched among the Awlaq in Yemen -- its not like the cops can pick him up for questioning. |

He's effectively resisting arrest. I don't seem to think that those two American citizens Bonnie and Clyde were read their rights either. |
