Anwar al-Alwaki's last video message conveys well his sentiment..
"Don't consult with anyone on the killing of Americans. Fighting the Devil doesn't require consultation or prayers seeking divine guidance. They are the party of the devils."

It looks like you have fallen for their slick deception.
He wasn't saying that Americans are the devil and that they must be fought, he was saying that the the people who want to kill Americans are devils, and are to be avoided and not consulted with. He then says that it is a fight between us, and them. "Them" being the ones who wish to kill Americans, and the greedy, inept rulers middle eastern nations he mentions.
Try harder, dude. This was half assed.
Nine years later, from his hide-out in Yemen, Mr. Awlaki has declared war on the United States.
“America as a whole has turned into a nation of evil,” he said in a statement posted on extremist Web sites in March. Though he had spent 21 of his 39 years in the United States, he added, “I eventually came to the conclusion that jihad against America is binding upon myself, just as it is binding on every other able Muslim.”

Now, as a Professor of Constitutional law I am extremely surprised that it seems the Obama Administration seems to be unaware or just ignores the 5th Amendment.

I am a idiot, not a constitutional law professor
Let me be clear i was talking about Obama as a constitutional law professor not myself, I did not realize how that line sounded until I read it back.
Just want to make it clear I was talking about Obama who once taught constitutional law

WTF??? Where to begin on this one? The link I provided has actual video of what he said...no confusion there...and before Youtube pulled the other vids at the request of Gov. Al-Alwaki had a tonnage of Al-Qaida recruiting videos he posted calling for the death of Americans???
YOU cited a video FROM 2001
I Cited a video from 2011

There us plenty of confusion. Nowhere in the video does he say that Americans are the devil, but the ones who want to kill American are devils. Then he goes on to say that the middle eastern allies of America are also devils. Open your mind, and watch that clip you linked me again, and quote to me where he says American's are the devil.
Now these quotes form a New York times article? Where is the video of him saying these things? What other source, other then the MSM New York Times, does he say this? Where is the concrete evidence, other than the words on quotation marks presented here in this article?

I have rarely seen a less well thought out response on ATS....let me see if I can address your points.
1) The first paragraph makes little sense to me...perhaps you should read the Constitution...EVERY American citizen is guaranteed the right to due process. The US CANNOT UNDER THE LAW, exterminate US citizens without a trial!! No exceptions!! Either the US is a country of laws or it isn't.
2) Do you lose your American citizenship if you leave the country? NO. So the rights guaranteed under the Constitution apply to ALL Americans, whether they are in the country or not. The Constitution says nothing about forfeiting the rights guaranteed you because you are out of the country.
3) There is no immunity here...if you are suspected of plotting to kill Americans, it is the burden of the state to prove it in a court of LAW.
Hope this clears up your confusion.
There is not really much to figure out. They murdered a 16 year old boy and as yet have not presented any explanation for this crime
