Believed, without any evidence. Certainly not any evidence that would have held up in court.

The party's name is the Democratic Party. It has been since 1830. Please spell correctly.

"The party must go wholly one way or wholly the other. It cannot face in both directions at the same time."

Or if they did have evidence it's the government's job to bring a case against him. Or maybe I'm just old school.

I believe that in principle, being an American citizen should not protect you from being targeted by the military if you join a terrorist organization whom we are at war with. But I believe there should be stricter guidelines and more transparency. I do think that in this case, al-Awlaki was a legitimate target. I would suggest that much of Yemen WOULD constitute a war zone, given the government's limited control over its territory. If he'd been living in an apartment in downtown Sana'a, that would be different.

I'm going with this.
