Citizens that were killed:[quote]
Anwar al-Awlaki: radical cleric[b](it isn't a crime to be Muslim or passionate about it)[/b], allegedly the inspiration for several plots against the U.S
Samir Khan: al-Qaeda propagandist[b] (Also not a crime)[/b]
Jude Kenan Mohammed: [b]possible [/b]plotter in 9/11 anniversary threat
Abd al-Rahman: Anwar al-Awlaki's son([b]Not a crime[/b]), 16 years old[/quote]
Does it worry you that these Drone Strikes are now Judge, Jury, and Executioner? Even though you're in another country it doesn't mean you lose your rights. They had the RIGHT to a fair trial, we see the Muslim name and then we assume they're foreign. Even when commiting treason, YOU NEED A TRIAL.

Your source fails to mention that only Awlaki was targeted and that the other three weren't targeted only collateral. Is it still wrong? Yes. But so is bending the truth to make it seems like all four were targeted.
