It should be quite clear reading this that the man was engaged in making war on the United States:

Anwar al-Awlaki: al Qaeda's rock star no more – CNN Security Clearance - CNN.com Blogs

Perhaps the part about "killing Americans" is of interest:

Quote:
Last year he called on American Muslims to rise up against their "oppression." In a video released in November 2010, al-Awlaki said there was no need to a fatwa to kill Americans. "Killing Satan does not require a fatwa," he said. "We have reached with them a situation of 'Either Us Or You.'"
Well looks like it was him, not us. That is war. Live by the sword, etc. Since this man was actually seeking ways to kill my children, I think those who defend him or attack Obama over this are fools at best.
