> The American citizenry tends to be OK with this kind of thing as long as it happens far away from us.

It's not that it's far away from us, it's that it happens to others. In this case, to the family of a terrorist that, while born in the U.S., spent a decade waging war against the U.S. on behalf of Al Qaeda while eluding every attempt to bring him to justice.

The U.S. reserves the right to have different rules for us versus others like every other people in the history of the world.
