I'll let Kevin Drum spell it out. He points out the obvious, which is that the state would have many options other than sending in a drone plane if Al-Awlaki were living in the United States. Indeed, it would be required to use those other methods since we don't generally believe that the they've "declared war" on their government. If they did, we'd be looking at a whole lot of dead militia members and Tea Partiers who use those words all the time.
Digby sort of backs into a discussion of the Awlaki affair and at Mother Jones, Kevin Drum takes it on.
