If we have a declared war between the US and the people (US citizens or otherwise) who are taking up arms against the US, then sure, attack away.

But otherwise, the only remedy should be judicial process against these people: arrests, trial, etc. Otherwise we have a term for it: extrajudicial killing.

Of course, Congress has given the executive branch weird war powers over the past few decades, so legally I'm sure they're in the clear, unfortunately.
