Icon Blowing things up.

Ok...just based on CNN and NPR soundbites alone, I learned this morning that US Military forces may have killed 6 Al Qaida operatives in Yemen.  They located them, mobilized aircraft and then blew them up. Was there more to this story than I heard? Am I mis-informed?  Were there military or logistical reasons for using missiles?  Please educate me!

Personally, (and I think this kinda reflects my views on the Death Penalty), wouldn't it have been much more effective and better American P.R. to Locate them, Mobilize aircraft and go arrest them for international terrorism, bring them to trial, embarrass them in front of the entire world as nasty criminals and thugs and then house them in an american prison and make them eat American food for the rest of their lifes?

But, since we blew them up, we get to be the thugs and our glory will be VERY SHORT LIVED.

Please...please........please! Don't forget to Vote!  It's one of our only rights left, use it!

An American,
