With the gun itself, that's the whole idea-- to not be within reach of what you're trying to kill.<br /><br />It's not fair, I can imagine you saying, the pilot of the drone isn't even on the battlefield.<br /><br />Like you, I'd prefer we don't be killing each other at all, but given the human proclivity for doing just that, what would you consider fair?

It's the insidious basis of swell ideas like the residential neighborhood carpet bombing of "shock and awe", and I'd very much like to put that behind us.<br /><br />That said, I have no opinion on the killing of Anwar al-Awlaki. I simply don't know enough about the case against him, but do know that Yemen had tried and convicted him (dead or alive!) in absentia, for what it's worth.<br /><br />As for Yoo, I do have an opinion.

We can assume, then, that John Yoo would have no problem with the CIA sending a Predator drone to the next CPAC meeting to kill him.

The man's as blithely unconcerned with black letter law as he is with human life. (The former may sound trivial compared to the latter, but consider that he earns his living at the law, whereas his status as human is subject to considerable doubt.) I wonder if he speeds up to run over jaywalkers. Just kiddin'. I'm convinced he does.<br /><br />The killing of Yamamoto--which Yoo turns into one of those Bill Bennett Moral Tales for Children as Told By the Personally Depraved--is, in fact, proof that the matter used to be taken seriously; the intention was considered so borderline, so questionable, that the operation was undertaken only after it was submitted to the President for approval. And that's the killing of the commander of the Japanese naval forces during what was essentially a naval war (and, as you point out, a declared one at that), not the designated Second in Command of the Week whose threat to the United States consisted of mouthing off. <br /><br />And as long as we're on the subject we'll just note that the operation--a remarkable, split-second action in the face of severe risks--was carried out by uniformed members of the United States military at the direction of one of our greatest Presidents.
