Do not use drones to kill American citizens unless and until they have been tried by a jury.

Created by S.M. on February 10, 2014

"An American citizen who is a member of al-Qaida is actively planning attacks against Americans overseas, U.S. officials say, and the Obama administration is wrestling with whether to kill him with a drone strike and how to do so legally under its new stricter targeting policy issued last year.

The CIA drones watching him cannot strike because he's a U.S. citizen and the Justice Department must build a case against him, a task it hasn't completed."

The above is from NBC News. I am asking that we do NOT use drones or any other method to kill a suspected terrorist who is an American citizen until they have been tried in a court of law and found guilty. It is Unamerican to kill "preemptively", without due process. We can't just kill anyone we "think" has or will do bad things. Prove it.
