I'm saying that in this case, merc saying that al-Awlaki should be killed for transgressions against his values (saying that the cartoonist should be killed) is no better than al-Awlaki saying that the cartoonist should be killed for transgressions against his values(the cartoonist making fun of Mohammed).

His being a "known and proven terrorist" does not enter into my point.

Do you think your values are better than his values?
