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.

Will anyone get in trouble if they turn out to be completely innocent? Who would it be? It seems like the death sentence, but there isn't a trial for people to go "Yeah, drone strike them, they're bad" or "No, get more evidence first/ No, they're innocent" They really should have a more official (and perhaps more transparent?) way for this to go about.
