If Bush had taken out Awlaki, liberals would be screaming about assassinations of American citizens ...

Obama has figured out (through on-the-job training) that if you kill them you don't have to deal with the issue of trying them.

You don't have to address the FACT that Bush was right and Obama was wrong about how you handle these people. Even better, pressure and/or pay foreign governments to kill them if you can.

Bush would have captured the guy and squeezed him for intel. Obama doesn't want to have to explain to Al and Ted why he isn't giving him a trial in NYC, so he just whacks them, and to hell with the lost opportunity to develop an understanding of what is going on.

Why settle for waterboarding when you just kill them?
