Awlaki is the American-born cleric residing in Yemen who has been tied to the Fort Hood shooting last fall, the Christmas Day jet bombing attempt and the attempted Times Square car bombing in May.

In theory I can agree however sometimes expediance is the way to go. While it's all well and fine to say we must be better than the enemy and we would "never" resort to their barbaric tactics I think fighting fire with fire is more efficent. Yes I realise it can lead to a schorched earth policy but we adapt and rebuild.

Would have been a better thread if it was.
