To the Editor:

   The U.S. Constitution provides that one guilty of "levying War against [the U.S.], or in adhering to [ the U.S.'s] Enemies" has committed treason. It follows that Anwar al-Awlaki should long ago have been charged with this crime. Due process of law would then require that he be apprehended and tried by a court of law. Instead, the Obama administration has issued his extra-judicial killing, has hired the Yemenis to make the hit, has paid them to lie about our role in it, and has tried to silence him in a public forum.  It all shows a lot of imagination, but it hasn't worked. Now let's try abiding by the law.
