Now that the Justice Dept. released its memo justifying assasination of American citizens… let’s take another look at the assasination by drone of 16-year-old Aabdulrahman al-Awlaki, an American citizen who was neither a member of al-Qaida nor a member of an associated force. He was a kid. He was targeted and killed by a drone in October of 2011 along with some other kids who happened to be eating with him. His father was a member of al-Qaida but his father was already dead from an earlier drone assasination about which President Obama bragged. Is this murder then?
