Congressman Charlie Dent who represents the Lehigh Valley and part of Berks County introduced a legislative resolution urging the Obama administration to strip Anwar al-Awlaki of his American citizenship because he's a known terrorist. Published reports cite unnamed intelligence and counter-terrorism sources that the Obama administration has added al-Awlaki to a CIA capture or kill list. Jan Ting, a 33-year law professor at Temple University, said Dent doesn't have a solid case. Ting said the Supreme Court has made stripping someone of citizenship very difficult. "You can't divest American citizen of citizenship, particularly in the case of someone who's not been convicted of any crime.".
