What if it took out innocents too? Is Jihadi John's life really worth that?

He's said we should stick to international law. Hardly an extreme position.

He didn't call it a tragedy this time?

Also:

Mr Corbyn also made clear that Labour MPs would not be given a free vote on any Government motion to bomb Isis targets in Syria.

Implying Corbyn has any control over the PLP at all.

Quite honestly, I'm just surprised Corbyn even has an opinion.

Hardly any votes are 'free' including in your very own party. Does Cameron have 'no control' over the tories because tax credits wasn't a free vote?

The double standards of the right are sensational at times.

Okay, so a prominent ISIS member was killed, and he wants to question the 'legality' of it, since when has the murder of 129 innocent people been legal. He knows he doesn't have much support and is clutching at straws by making some sort of moral standpoint. Poor form.
