Ron Paul & ACLU Denounce U.S. Killing Of American Al-Qaeda Terrorist

Both the ACLU and Ron Paul have come out strongly against the killing of America-born Al-Qaeda terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki, whose car was struck with a U.S. drone missile two days ago. Paul calls the attack a "sad precedent" in American history.

“He was born here,” said Paul. “He is an American citizen. He was never tried or charged with any crime. Nobody knows if he killed anyone.” And Paul said the precedent of striking against Americans, even those suspected of being terrorist masterminds, is not a good one. “If the American people accept this blindly and casually - have a precedent of an American president assassinating people who he thinks are bad. I think that’s sad,” he said.
