So according to this AP report, Obama's lawyers have determined that US citizens are legitimate military targets if the Executive Branch determines that said citizens are working with al Qaeda.
Of course, I object to this determination, as it strips citizens of their Constitutional rights at the whim of the Executive Branch alone. But there is a larger implication. The implication is that US citizens are legitimate military targets.
Isn't that precisely the same argument made by Osama bin Laden when his affiliates attacked on 9/11?
Doesn't this legal ruling legitimize the very terrorist tactics used against the US?
