All of which is irrelevant as a justification of suspension of due process.The man was an unlawful enemy combatant who orchestrated other unlawful enemy combatants to take up arms against his country in the name of Jihad. The US operation which resulted in his death was one he was aware of for years after several formal legal proceedings which left him with ample opportunity for his due process. HE chose to remain an outlaw and continued to threaten innocent US civilians. The circumstances surrounding his death were entirely lawful...
No, YOU need to prove the US Government abused it's authority by killing a KNOWN terrorist leader who was KNOWN to preach Jihad against the USA.
I dont know about the poster to whom youre responding, but I have cited both Constitutional case law and Article III, Section 3 of the Constitution requiring due process for those accused of being enemy combatants and/or accused of treason.
Consequently: its incumbent upon you to cite case law justifying suspension of due process per the criteria youve noted.
He had ample opportunity for his due process as he was well aware of formal legal proceedings against him... He CHOSE the path to his own death instead.
