Absolutely not !

American citizens need to be held for trial before any death sentence is carried out. I thought the USA military engaged in combat and took prisoners according to the Geneva Conventions.
The USA does not engage in assassinations. Something confusing about that?

I take it the USA intelligence knows of the American's where abouts and the activity they are engaged in. Yes? Then what is the problem in acting with combat to intervene? Drones too convenient perhaps. It might not only result in one dead American, but, many dead Americans if combat ensues. So, now the USA is not only targeting Americans they believe to be involved with a terrorist organization, it willing admits drones are better soldiers than any general can produce otherwise.

Has the battlefield become so confusing the USA military doesn't know the real enemy unless it is on a computer screen? And then of course, Oops, they didn't know there were civilians in the way. Those things 'just happen.'

Drones. This is about as pathetic as it gets. You see, according to the great Don Rumsfeld, when USA dead reaches 5000 the American people don't support the war anymore. Besides, let's face it, war isn't really a vote getter now is it?

Better to kill Americans at a distance than have dead soldiers to fly home in flag draped coffins.

TROOPS OUT, NOW! 

And they can take their computer toys with them!
