One of the people briefed said opportunities to "take out" Awlaki "may have been missed" because of the legal questions surrounding a lethal attack which would specifically target an American citizen.

Should I say are there enough lawyers willing to support the Predator pilots? (Given 99 percent of lawyers are schooled in liberal arts schools and all bear that liberal mindset ...)
