Uphold America's Founding Principles
Firstly, Anwar al-Awlaki was an extremist who did call for killing of Americans, using the internet as a medium. However, the killing of any American without due process is unconstitutional and violates the Fifth Amendment. Violent measures like drone strikes do not decrease terrorism, but instead make it easier for Al-Qaeda to recruit members. We must remember our founding principles even while waging a war on terror.
