But how come you wanted us to blow up some people in a camp in Iraq and kill some guy we saw in Afghanistan just because he was tall?
I'm just trying to figure out where your commitment to the rule of law ends.

Afghanistan and Iraq are not hard cases, because neither government was going to help us bring someone to justice. As I recall, Yemen was not so clear-cut -- the government was on our side, at least to some degree, but the cars were in a tribal area not really under the government's control.
