Wobblie, if it's murder, I'm sure the appropriate prosecuting authority will be right on it. Is it U.S. law that applies in Yemen or local law or "International Law"

Holder will be right on it? Don't make me laugh. He won't even prosecute cases against the Wall St. criminals and the obvious lawbreaking by the Bush administration.

As for what law applies, I refer you and Mr. Holder to 18 U.S.C. 1119:
(a) Definition.— In this section, “national of the United States” has the meaning stated in section 101(a)(22) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101 (a)(22)).
(b) Offense.— A person who, being a national of the United States, kills or attempts to kill a national of the United States while such national is outside the United States but within the jurisdiction of another country shall be punished as provided under sections 1111, 1112, and 1113.
Not that it makes any difference since it's clear the president is above US law.
