According to the Supreme Court, Lakhdar Boumediene, who has never set foot in the United States and was apprehended on the battlefield, is entitled to due process and habeas corpus rights.
According to President Barack Obama, Anwar al-Awlaki, who was born in New Mexico, which was the 47th state admitted to the United States of America even though many Federal employees believe it to be a foreign country, can be denied habeas corpus rights, assassinated without due process, and no one else can question his decision.
GWB: War criminal!
BHO: Awesome war leader!
Foreign national, KSM, who killed Americans and admitted it, waterboarded: End of the world
American, al-Awlaki, who never confessed to killing anyone, denied due process and executed: High fives all around.
Reductio ad absurdum...indeed.
