In the particular case I referenced, he was, Abdulrahman al-Alauqi was born in Denver and was aged 16 when he was killed. Coughlin could have faced the death penalty for sedition; but he was silenced by his bishop before that was necessary.

This is why we should not vest the executive with untrammeled ability to kill on their own authority, but should restrain them to a procedure that asks them to justify the exigency to a judge at the very least.
