According to your link, this wasn't a "call of assassination", it was done with the approval of the National Security Council. Whether you agree with it or not, it was not a "call of assassination" posted on facebook with no consultation with anyone. Nor is Sarah an elected official, as her supporters are
constanly reminding us.
From the link:
Al-Awlaki's targeted killing was approved by U.S. President Barack Obama, with the consent of the U.S. National Security Council by April 2010, making him the first U.S. citizen ever placed on the CIA target list. Officials said it was appropriate, as he poses an imminent danger to national security.
