...then they have grounds to try

I agree with Glenn on this this is a horrible, HORRIBLE precedent.

Of course, when Bush got up on national TeeVee and admitted to violating FISA 
to millions and nothing happened, then the law that the Administration promised 
would never be applied to American citizens was almost immediately applied to 
an American citizen, and nothing happened, and we admitted we were torturing 
people, and nothing happened...I knew we were on this road.

This is a horrible fucking thing for the Administration to do. Bin Laden was a 
very gray area; this was not. 

I have no doubt some future president will find ways of bending this to include 
domestic enemies.

Perhaps declaring war on a tactic used by criminals was a bad idea.
