  • Your "One size fits all" boogyman....for a time....

  • This Ben Swann guy is amazing!! Just discovered him. He got a master's degree in history at age 16; not kidding. I wonder what local people think of him?

  • They killed Awlaki because British Intelligence MI6 had been using him and protected him following the 7/7 London Bombings. They shuttled him in and out of Britain, even while he was the subject of an international manhunt. So you have the bulk of British law enforcement and Interpol hunting for him, all the while MI6 is protecting him. Awlaki was able to fly to Pakistan. The Pakistanis arrested him, but he was freed and flown back to Britain.

    Now he is dead, and can never tell what he knows.

  • He also had lunch at the Pentagon AFTER 9-11.

  • QUESTION :

    Why is FOX talking about this ???

    Are they pushing toward a revolution through anger ?

    We all know that the media releases an information only on purpose.

    Normaly, they should hide this kind of info since it's outrageous to learn that a president gives himself total power on citizens life or death.

    If they allow this info to come out you can be sure they're preparing something to the people of your country.

    Fight Evil with Peace !

    Don't let yourself fooled by those who divide.

  • I have an idea, why not (^(^%*&^B  Ob&^((&(

  • Blow me Obumer. You know, you like cock.

  • its hard to find real journalists these days im glad to see some still exist. thank you Ben Swann for this. we need more people like him to get into journalism because im so sick of the media propaganda these days nothing but lies and more lies put together with a little bit of government interests when you mix that together you get brainwashed sheep in there homes watching it all and buying into.

  • Wow.. This guy is so awesome it makes me want to move to Ohio..

  • This is what I call real News. Thanks for posting.

  • Obama wasn't happy to settle with the murder of Al-Awlaki, he has now carried out the murder of his 16yr old son (Abdulrahman al-Awlaki).

    Americans will sticker their trucks with quotes like "those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable" (JFK) and "the tree of liberty must be refreshed with the blood of tyrants" (Jefferson) but in reality they're just going to sit and take it like bitches whilst due process and other long suspended clauses fade away.

  • Wow, that was just awesome.

  • To preserve our posterity & integrity we must honor the Constitution ESPECIALLY from the top, down! Without a sincere Government, NONE of the citizens can be expected to be trustworthy and then we will have total chaos. God have mercy on America.I am sure that we are better people than those who are presently governing .

  • Where was this guy when Bush was torturing people, I wonder?

  • @mnhsty >>> Oh shut up your ignoramus. I swear some of you will let the entire country go down in flames as long as everyone agrees that it was all Bush's fault. Are you really too stupid to realize the problems are much too important to get stuck on which "party" did the most harm? You better start learning about the source of all these problems and what changes must be made to solve it. & you won't find it in the dogma of either the mainstream Dems or Repubs.

  • all of those politicians and but one loyal servant

  • nothing new. they just acknowledge it now. They've been assassinating anyone they want up to and including the president, i.e. JFK. It aint just the Obama administration. Its the corporations in charge of all the administrations. They are just telling us outright, "what you gonna do about it?" No left? or right? issue folks, liberty? or tyranny?

  • Screw that guy... if you are going to plot the mass death of people on multiple occasions bad stuff is gunna happen to you... I really don't think the slippery slope argument applies to this either.

  • @stevo949 It doesnt matter what he has done as a american citizen he has the right to a trial. You dont just go out and murder him and then forget it ever happened. If you dont care about it then eventually a president can call anyone a terrorist and kill them and no one would question it because no one cares as long as they are told he was a bad guy.

  • No trial? Who does the president answer to???

    The courts didn't even see the evidence?!

    Oh wait am I too influential? Don't assassinate me Obama, I'm sorry!

  • Tyranny!!!

  • Hahahaha at 1:16 I thought that woman's voice came out of Awlaki's mouth! Nice one... Fox.

  • No way. I must be dreaming. a journalist actually giving facts? A very faint light of hope maybe?

  • did we hang bobby lee....jeff davis....how many americans were they responsible for killing? So far as I can recall only 1 confederate officer or government official was hung after the civil war. And he was hung as payback for the conditions of andersonville prison.

    but today we allow our president to dictate that someone can be targeted for killing because that someone says bad things and the president does not like them.

    unbelievable...God help us all

  • This is really but one mere example (out of many!) of the illegal actions performed by our President. barack. It's starting to feel somewhat futile. US Executive branch well they just do as they please anymore. RON PAUL 2012

  • Execution is what happens when someone receives due process and is found guilty. Assassination is what happens when they're killed outright, without regard for law. American citizens are NOT TO BE ASSASSINATED BY OUR OWN GOVERNMENT! Execute the bastard after due process or make a case in court that he is to be expatriated and assassinate him afterward, but our government does not and should not have the right to assassinate citizens.

  • Go Cinci. Go Ron

    2012

    The Voice of Reason

  • Wow! I am clicking the like on this guys Facebook for fact that journalism is about facts and that is what he gave

  • I wonder how long until more US citizens are killed without trial.

  • Hats off to that TV station! Real objective reporting! OBJECTIVE being the key word...

  • Its pretty fucked up that they would kill anyome, US citizen or not, without a trial.

    Its a very nasty business.

  • @C05597641 It's war. That's what happens. However, the problem is that he and his companion were U.S. citizens, and they weren't shooting back. They were taken out by a drone and had no idea it was coming.

  • Wow, this is awesome. I never thought I would hear such level headed talk out of Fox. Keep it up BBen Swann.

  • Great new segment. I'm surprised it was even allowed to air. Wow.

  • This is national level commentary by Ben Swann. He nailed it.

    Obama has completely spit on the US Constitution and Congress is his lap dog.

    I miss America.

  • And what if the government declare anyone whom challenges the status quo as a security risk... Should we treat all security risk this way? Why bother to have a constitution at all? Why bother to have courts and judges and attornies? Let treat all risk this way and when someone falls into the list by mistake. We can just write it off as collateral damage or Oops.

  • Notice how the media usually refers to the "accused" as "the alleged" because of the presumed "innocent until proven guilty" thing. We all know this Al-Awlaki guy was a bad player. But when someone breaks the law and the president can just say yeah kill him, and the media is like, yeah that's cool cause he was guilty. Well that just scares the HELL out of me!

  • Another NSA asset? When is this gov. going to run out of boogymen? This guy was meeting at the Pentegon a few years ago....hmmm Where is Osama Bin Laden? Oh yea, he's swimming with the fishes.....hmmm Funny, I heard he died 10 years ago....hmmm Its time for another false flag.

  • I believe in championing the Constitution and Ron Paul, however when it comes to these terrorists (who are common sense known terrorists) let 'em get plucked off!

  • @sexotixx so how do we know if they are terrorists without evidence , how can you say you believe in the constitution then say its ok if citizens are killed without due process of the law. 

  • @nrev79 Good point. But sometimes extracting the person from an extremely hazardous environment is, well... hazardous. This guy clearly seems to be a terrorist. We don't want or need him to continue plotting and inspiring the demise of innocent people. The government had to have some condemning evidence before KILLING the guy. If not it would be a pure murder, right?

  • @sexotixx it`s really simple,the king declared a man an enemy, he was killed ..we are all safe now, till the king says your the enemy!!!

  • @nrev79 Well, that is very true. What can I say? You're right!

  • the usa are definitely on the way to become a true fascist nation - an this way will destroy itself. Osama will win in the end

  • submit it to your county* board of elections or the State board of elections.

  • Thank you for reporting the truth... It's about time journalists gain some integrity.

  • If Anwar - Al whatever had returned to America for any reason, he'd have been on trial for treason.....and likely hanged!

  • @ivorytabs You shouldn't post things when you clearly don't know what your talking about, moron.

  • @ebcyac Before you start publicly calling names, MORON....look in the mirror! All you can do is spew nonsense. There is little doubt by anyone who or what this guy was about. Where were your protests over his innocence when it mattered? "Clearly don't know what you're talking about?" HA! I am a lot closer to the truth than you are. Prove otherwise, instead of being a sniper/troll name caller. Don't let the fact that your mom might be calling you in for supper stop you.

  • @ivorytabs Dictatorships do this sort of thing, not democracies. It's a very dangerous thing to have happen, regardless of the person killed. We are fighting for democracy in the middle east, yet our government is committing acts like that of a dictatorship. What a frightening road to start down. . . .

  • Paul has a point however I am still supporting Gingrich... I do feel Awlaki needed to die but the lack of evidence is also substantial...

  • I am a supporter of Dr. Paul; but on this issue, we disagree. If we interpret the Constitution too literally, it will cease to be a growing document. Anwar - Al whatever kissed his American citizenship goodbye when he left to declare war on us. He'd probably laugh at any attempt by us to still respect his "citizenship."

    Dr. Paul, don't dwell on this issue; there is a far greater good to be done than taking a stand for this former American.

  • @ivorytabs

    We don't know what acts Al Awlaki comitted because we have been provided nothing by the government. The very shadowy agencies that accused him of these crimes are the very ones that assassinated him, and with no due process or documented explanation. Nothing. But this is not about Al Awlaki. This is about a capricious government killing citizens at will, with no legal process or recourse. You might wish a dictatorial regime to have these powers, but the rest of us do not

  • @ivorytabs I a gree and disagree, its not about what Al did, its the principle of how they went about it. Remember the patriot act is the same thing, If you are considered a threat to this country they can come in to your house take you away and we will never see you again, without trial or process. Its all bull, its supposed to protect us no matter if you do go against your country. You need to stand before a trial, get convicted the right way and put in jail for the rest of his life.

  • The four people who dislike this video was Barack Obama, Michelle Obama and their Two kids....

  • @Msherrera1970 how do you register republican? Where do you go and how do you get information to do this? It just happens to be that I'm old enough to vote on these elections and wanted to vote for ron paul and wanted to know how the system worked I live in maryland

  • @936860

    You need to fill out the voter registration application and then select which party (if it's a new registration) or select select the party affiliation change (if you have filled out an application before and didn't select Republican). Once you have the application filled out, submit it to your country board of elections or the State board of elections.

  • @936860 I live in Md. also. Go to mdelections -dot- umd -dot- edu AND elections -dot- state -dot- md -dot- us to find out more.

  • @936860 Some good F.A.Q.s: elections . state . md . us/ voter_registration/index . html

  • NEW YORK AND NEW HAMPSHIRE DEADLINE for switching to Republican Party is OCTOBER 14th. POST MARKED. Go online and NYC voter registration forms. download. print. fill-out the form. and mail before OCTOBER 14th.

  • The underwear bomber was a staged event. Flight 253 Kirk Haskel go see the vedio there were 3 eye witnesses that came forward

  • Finally! Some actual JOURNALISM! Thank you Ben Swann, and thank you WSIX.

  • What all of you fail to understand is that this guy wasn't killed as punishment for his crimes, he was killed to prevent more. These fuckheads have unilaterally declared war on the US. Just because US hasn't taken the formality of charging people with crimes doesn't make the victims of terrorism any less dead or maimed. I agree with Dr. Paul on most issues, but here is in the wrong. Airborne/ATW

  • @dv82wf "prevent more" crimes?? You subscribe to Preventive Detention?? If you do, you know, Preventive detention is a special form of "imprisonment" NOT assassination! So you agree, we should have imprisoned him, charged him, given him due process and either execute or imprison for life. Just like McVeigh, the Unibomber (both Americans), also the shoe bomber, and the underwear bomber. aw-Awlaki is dead that should satisfy your taste for blood. Now focus on your Liberties as an American.

  • truly amazing. Ok so the guy was a terrorist and an american and was killed without facing the stand. So let's get this right. Saddam get a trial to answer for war crimes. We are still finding and convicting former nazi party members for war crimes from 50 plus years ago. We even still convict murderers from many more years ago with a trial even when they are to old to truly serve time. Yet we can do this on a whim. Yeah he was a bad guy as far as we know but he was american and a human.

  • PEOPLE NEED TO SWITCH PARTIES 12 WEEKS IN ADVANCE OF THE PRIMARIES IN MOST STATES.

    IF YOU DO NOT SWITCH IN TIME YOU CANNOT VOTE IN PRIMARY.

    IF YOU ARE NOT REGISTERED REPUBLICAN YOU CANNOT VOTE IN PRIMARY.

    IF RON PAUL DOES NOT WIN PRIMARY, NO GENERAL ELECTION ! REGISTER AS A REPUBLICAN. FIND OUT WHEN YOUR STATE HAS PRIMARIES. FIND OUT WHERE AND VOTE VOTE VOTE ! PLEASE !

    WE NEED EVERY LAST VOTE ! Copy and paste and vote up this everywhere

  • The DEADLINES to Register (R) for Primaries are NOW!

    COMING UP SOON:

    NH Deadline: October 14th

    NY Deadline: October 14th

  • @elbuggo Not true. I live in New Hampshire. You can register at the polls on election day.

  • @realrockvince - Not true. Google:

    New Hampshire Secretary of State’s Office - The last day for voters interested in changing their party affiliation is Friday, October 14, 2011.

  • @elbuggo Alright buddy, last time, I live in New Hampshire, I know this to be 100% true: you can be a registered Independent, walk into the polls, tell them you want a Republican ballot, they'll give it to you, then you vote for Ron Paul. I'm absolutely 100% sure of this. Chill.

    The only people who are effected by this are Democrats who want to vote in the Republican primary, which equals approximately 0 people.

    About 41% of voters in New Hampshire are registered Independent.

  • Who is Ben Swann and why is he trying to save his country

  • Very nice. Ron Paul 2012 all the way!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Ron Paul was not the only candidate to speak up Gary Johnson did as well, in fact may have been the first...

  • 3:09 - the news sounds better when its the truth

  • @thisisart So true.

  • very well said... it is difficult to frame this issue in a way that does not make you look like a supporter of terrorism, This does a good job of getting to the issue... the constant decline of the constitution.

  • Register as a Republican to vote for Ron Paul! If you're a registered democrat, you only have until October 14th to switch. If you're not registered then I think you have until March 30th. The primary is April 24th, I think.

    Ron Paul for President 2012!

  • I'm occupying my city to protest this

  • Dr. Ron Paul will go down in history as the greatest defender of the Constitution of our time.

  • This is what the news should focus on more! actually facts and not opinions...

  • @zerocool155

    this are not facts. this is show for you to believe. good show.

  • @Oceano69 and I as well. People don't look at it that way. I believe the word Ron used in another interview was "incrementalism"

  • superb reporting! At least have a tribunal post-mortum to demonstrate this guy was a traitor. Done. Easy. Constitutional. Transparent.

  • Ron Paul for freedom.

  • The Constitution was written to restrict the power of the Federal Government and to assign to to the Federal Government the duties to secure and protect the rights to life, liberty, and property.

    Our Founding Fathers fought wars to protect the very rights clown puppet Obummer usurps.

  • Who will psychopath puppet Obummer decide to assassinate next?

    The Occupy Wall Street protestors?

    The librarian?

    And clowns such as Gingrich, Romney, and Perry endorse this despicable act that usurps the 5th Amendment.

    Unbelievable!

    Ron Paul, 2012!

  • Our Government is out of Control.... Check out the Wall Street Protesters...

    Stop all the undeclared unnecessary Wars. Bring our Soldiers Home..

    Ron Paul For President

  • Our Government is out of Control.... Check out the Wall Street Protesters...

    Stop all the undeclared unnecessary Wars. Bring our Soldiers Home..

  • I influence People about the Federal reserves everyday and could be considered a enemy combatant and now killed for influencing People! Do you get IT!

  • Wow, main stream media reporting real news and not just watered down bullshit!

  • I can't believe this was on FOX. Great report Mr Swann....

  • i'm not sure I agree but their may be another reason behind them even allowing this story on tv news and sadly it's not journalistic freedom with a new eye towards freedom or constitutionality look at all of the reports targeting constitutionalists, patriots and the like coming from our tax dollars and our support let look at how apartheid was ended, lets apply some of that here with an eye toward politics with any kind of local funding

  • King Obama! Watch what you post, he will have your head chopped off.

  • Two words: enemy combatant

    Citizenship is moot

  • nice Professional reporting

  • I'm from Cincinnati and I am proud of this kind of reporting from at least one of our news sources! Thank you so much Mr. Swann!

    Ben Swann did another great Reality Check when Obama came to visit our Brent Spence Bridge to put forward his Job Plan. There isn't even enough to take care of this one bridge if the allotted money from KY AND OH were put together!! Google "Fox 19 is there enough money" and it should be the first link (YouTube isn't allowing me to post the url...)

  • Actual reporting on the news? What's going on here?

  • How else does an honest reporter get air-time for the critically Constitutional positions held by Ron Paul in this election cycle? The story was brilliantly framed around Al-Awlaki being assassinated by the US government, and it's unconstitutionality - It wasn't about Ron Paul and his position on the murder which has been toxic in the media

  • This also proves how abused executive orders are... how many americans were aware the president would use executive orders not just to force legislation, but also to kill US citizens w/o due process... and who knows for what else?

    -- Ron Paul 2012 --

  • Great piece. Crosses all the rhetoric and gets to the heart of the issue: violation of due process. Praying for this reporter; seems like an honest man, though I don't know his views on much else.

  • Great piece. Crosses all the rhetoric and gets to the heart of the issue: violation of due process. Praying for this reporter, what an honest soul.

  • Exactly.

  • 3 people don't want a trial. 

  • Good reporting!

  • @Lookevendeeper I think that reporter and anyone watching this youtube video might be next.

  • LoL... ANTI U.S.CONSTITUTION knuckle draggers strike again. 5th amend to USC separates us from rabid killers. GOV'T should of baited tagged and bagged him to stand trial or trial in absentia. Where are the photos of OBL and AAA ? We brought justice in Nuremberg & OK but sadly we are no longer just.

  • awesome reporter

  • Oh I bet he's receiving more comments now than ever before after that piece. Ron Paul supporters roll deep!

  • We are the 99%. We are the change we want to see in the world. We are here to spread the word about the deceptive stances of the international centralized banking cabal, "status quo" politicians and their "bullying-horn" MSM. We've been caught up in a web of tyranny to advance a NWO of greed and grief. This isn't about the flipping "right/left" coin toss. It's about uniting to End the Fed and End the Wars. We will not retreat. Vote Dr. Ron Paul: Commander in Chief, 2012.

  • Finally!!!!!! Real reporting!

  • who's next?

  • and he had lunch at the pentagon after 9 - 1 -1??? kinda makes you wonder???

  • Second dislike, Go Obama!

  • @IansProdDeluxe Really? Why?

  • eeeehhh a fox channel that has real news content for one time only. where's the champagne. and they mentioned ron paul is defending the US constitution that they say matters and has him saying that not just Obama to blame . Where's that champagne? Fox with a good news report. Fair and balanced once out of how many times.

  • make sure you all register as a republican to vote for ron paul !

  • U.S. Constitution been abolished long ago, obama just haven't informed the public that martial law is now the rule!!!

  • I'm not used to getting useful information from the media...someone slap me!

  • careful now... youre bumping a sleeping america Mr Swann. cheers.

  • This is kinda scary... The mainstream media is sounding more like Ron Paul... This has to be a trick... I must be dreaming? I hope he doesn't get fired for not demonizing The Constitution.

  • Here's a reality check: This guy was the leader of a group in Yemen that CHANGED THEIR NAME to Al Qaeda in 2009. This group is not Al Qaeda! They disbanded and layed down their weapons almost ten years ago and in 2009 apparently 'reformed' and changed their name to Al Qaeda, despite their being NO conection whatsoever to the ACTUAL Al Qaeda...

    Reality Check!

  • wow to my surprise this reporter is from my hometown of el paso tx...to bad they never let him do a piece like that here...way to go Ben Swann!!

  • This is REAL news, how the media SHOULD report.

  • @Itugen88 It sure is refreshing to see

  • Gained my respect for telling the truth, keep doing that and you'll keep earning our support!

  • The whole war on terror is a bogus operation. Get out of Iraq, get out of Afghanistan, get out of Pakistan, get out of Yemen, get out of Somalia. Stop invading Muslim lands and the incidence of terrorism against the United States will decrease.

    Our politicians are perfectly described by the Renee Zellwegger character in "Cold Mountain": They make the weather and then they stand out in the rain and say, "Shit, it's raining."

  • @sameoldoctor The point is one minute the president is killing a US citizen because of their ties to terrorist the next he will be killing US citizens for protesting or speaking out against the government. Still don't see it as a big deal? fine, I would love to be there to see your face when the president declares you and/or your family a threat and have you killed with no trial.

  • @sameoldoctor, other US Citizens that consider what some joker appointed as "Supreme Justice" could potentially say about this occurrence as "legal precedent" to do harm unto another or many US Citizens because the ONE man with power surrendered to him by Congress can say that he/she/they were enemies of the United States while sitting on an empty "CLASSIFIED" file with blank pages that can be claimed as "classified evidence", that is Whom this concerns.

  • @sameoldoctor

    maybe you dont understand what lies beneath ... what if at 3 or 4 am a swat or military force enters your home

    they "think" that you may be plotting something. they don't even know What! but wait this couldn't happen to you right? what if you escaped(miraculously) these forces. branded as a criminal or a alleged terrorist ... you fear for your life ... well to tell you the truth: a man was shot dead something like 30 bullets where discovered in his body. he was innocent ...

  • @romeoneverdies

    police alleged that he had a weapon and pointed it at them ... it was one of their don't ask just enter ops ... well they got the wrong address .. the man a father if i recall is now deceased because he heard something in the pitch black of the early morning , pulled out his gun and proceeded to inspect the area ... well that is until the police entered the house and started shooting like crazies . a few officers where wounded ... from friendly fire...

  • @sameoldoctor You should care, see there was this little thingy written a couple years ago called the Constitution, it is law and no one, not even the president is allowed to violate it. I use the Westboro Baptist Church as an example when explaining this to people, they go around protesting at military funerals and many consider them a terrorist organization, yet this does not give me a right to go bomb them. The point is no American citizen, the president included can play judge and jury.

  • Ron Paul is the only one that speaks any sense about whats going on. It's funny watching every politician change their tune to the sounds of Ron Paul. Mainstream media needs to start taking him serious and quit messing with the polls.

  • Ron Paul is the only one that speaks any sense about whats going on. It's funny watching every politician change their tune to the sounds of Ron Paul. Mainstream media needs to start taking him serious and quit messing with the polls. obamaslibyadotcom

  • The description of the video states: "Mentions Ron Paul is the only presidential candidate speaking up about the matter." The video correctly states that Ron Paul is "ONE of the lone voices". Governor Gary Johnson has also spoken out against the assassination.

  • I'm glad someone gets it. Thanks Ben and WXIX. Stand up for the Constitution or we will loose it.

  • This just shows how little the oath Obama took when he was sworn in as president really meant. He even messed the words up when he took it.I am tired of America being led by the puppeteer elite. Its bad enough we are still asleep during the the most important event in the history of our republic, but now we are operating under a new constitution, the patriot act.The upper 1% have nothing in common with the common folk. The elite are greedy, power hungry, evil minded people. Peace.

  • we have a dictator in our white house. But i better not say anything because the constitution is not going to protect me any more. i don't want to be executed yet.

  • @2000jtango

    "all it takes for evil to win is for good men to do nothing"

  • @romeoneverdies so are you saying Obama is a good man?

  • Wow very good and informative ... thank you for posting ~

  • I have no love for Anwar Al-Awlakbut this is quite a deal. Just think, this president campainged on what a travesty it was to hold prisoners in Gitmo with out do process but I guess it's OK if you just kill them

  • WOW -- Just WOW!! Really amazing.... There were some factual errors, like him being the leader of Al Qaeda which is not true.He was a mid-level speaker and most in yemen didn't even know him...

  • Correction. The video correctly states that Ron Paul is "ONE of the lone voices". Governor Gary Johnson has also spoken out against the assassination.
