During World War I, our nation convicted and imprisoned Americans who voiced opposition to the war. During World War II, the government interned Japanese-Americans.

Then he compares Obama to Hitler. He hasn't even seen the memos!

My bad. I didn't read it all.

Obama ordered the execution of an American citizen without due process. We need to know how he justifies the act.

Indeed. There is no justification for bumping off some who is merely suspected of involvement in terrorism, and who is not even a republican.

How do you know that's what it is? This is the info we've been given.

NY Times -Show Us The Drone Memos by Rand Paul Wrote:Mr. Barron wrote at least two legal memos justifying the execution without a trial of an American citizen abroad.
[...]
“there are at least eleven OLC opinions on the targeted killing or drone program.”
[...]
we do know that his controversial classified opinions provided the president with a legal argument and justification to target an American citizen for execution without a trial by jury or due process.
[...]
The Obama administration has established a legal justification that applies to every American citizen, whether in Yemen, Germany or Canada.
