To the Editor:
Barack Husein Obama has vast power has President of the United States of American and Commander-in-Chief of her Armed Forces. Still, this power has limits, even in war-time. As an American citizen--even as an alleged traitor to his country--Anwar al-Awlaki can be deprived of life, liberty or property only by the due process of law. Even if Mr. Obama were a duly-constituted court of law, he couldn't impose a death sentence without first charging, trying and convicting Mr. al-Awlaki. Professor Obama knew and taught this. If he or members of his administration are now maneuvering to obstruct the workings of our justice system, he is doing it in violation of his oath of office.
