This is beyond the pale when it comes to over-reaching Presidential powers.  It is also extremely scary and we should fight it every inch of the way!  Who will set the parameters under which someone is deemed to be a "terrorist operative"?

He has already killed two US Citizens without a trial, or a verdict.  No one complained about it, because those two men were linked to AlQaeda.  But the fact remains that they were US Citizens and this President gave the OK to have them killed.  Who is going to be next???
