There was much jubilation in Washington after it emerged US born Imam Anwar Awlaki had been killed in a targeted US strike in Yemen by a drone.
But there is now outrage among American and other human rights groups who believe that Obama is developing a new aggressive strategy which does away with trial by jury.
While some accepted the assassination of Osama Bin Laden as inevitable this latest killing is on a US citizen. Such killing also hoes away the need of Guantanamo where 170 detainees are still held in a legal black hole.
This Agenda will scrutinize the US human rights abuses and ask why it no longer relies on its own courts to dispense justice.
