What's worse is that Al-Awlaki is a CIA agent. He conned many dupes into moronic acts. Now he travels to locations that the military wants to bomb, and then he gets away.

When you are asked to stop by an officer of the court and you run you may be shot. So now they can shoot you but can't use your name? .Anyone can legally shoot you in most states if you pose an imminent threat. If put into effect swat teams could not save a hostage by "taking out" a hostage-taker.Kucinich has the foresight of a mole [for those of you who are scientifically challenged moles are blind]
