TRAITOR

Re. Letter to the Editor, "Bad guy but bad precedent"
Mr. Palmer, this is the explaination. Al-Awlaki was a soldier in the army of the enemy, and a TRAITOR! The President is the Commander in Chief of the armed forces of the United States. If Mr. Al-Awlaki had been captured, I have no doubt that there would have been due process, a finding of guilt and then execution of sentence.
To paraphrase Shakespeare: "The evil that men do lives after them. The good is oft interred with theri bones. So let it be with Al-Awlaki." And good riddance!
