put out by the Department of Justice.
Yeah....in cases where...
US citizens who are 'a senior operational leader of Al-Queda or an associated force' or in cases where capture is 'infeasible' and where the operation can be carried out in a manner consistent with the applicable 'laws of war'...
See, it's fun to cherry-pick...
Is that what that 16 year old kid was?
Oh, I forgot, he needed to pick a better father.
Are you SA210? His dad was a well known Al-Queda operative..he happen to be with his dad when he was attacked...next...
He was not with his dad when he was MURDERED by Obama's illegal "nobel peace, humanitarian, ending the wars" drone. The American CHILD was murdered without charge or due process 2 weeks AFTER his American citizen father was murdered without due process.
And no, angrydude is not me, but props to him for being awake
His son was killed 2 weeks after he was.

Moral of the story: don't hang out with terrorists in Yemen. You might catch a missile.
Moral of the story: our country has lost its way.
Kid was hanging out with terrorists. If he wasn't in league with them he was incredibly stupid.
How do you know?
That's pretty old... released last February:
http://www.theguardian.com/commentis...-list-doj-memo
Not that it's any less important, but IIRC, some threads were made back then...
I read more than one source:http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/...ike/50784330/1
oops...my bad. i wasn't really around in february and the thread le for that one is misleading.
regardless, it's an interesting topic to revisit with the current crisis in syria.
Ibrahim al-Banna, wasn't killed & Abdul Al-alaki wasn't 21 & the time of his death, he was 16. 2 crucial pieces of your source that are wrong & makes that source void.
ChumpDump, you should read this:
http://www.truthdig.com/report/page5..._wars_20130425
Pages 4 & 5, it pokes many holes into the rationale of the strike.
Al Banna wasn't even there & an admin source claims the strike was intentional!

According to whom?
The terrorists? Well he's had plenty of time to post a video mocking the US. Where is that?
Getting the age wrong doesn't invalidate the source. They reported what they were initially told.& Abdul Al-alaki wasn't 21 & the time of his death, he was 16. 2 crucial pieces of your source that are wrong & makes that source void.

No al-Banna? Well that kind of makes claims to his living void, doesn't it?

http://www.yemenpost.net/Detail12345...4244&MainCat=3This is not the first time Banna has been announced dead, while experts believe the regime fabricated his story to receive more International support at a time when opposition forces are calling for change.
Nabil Bukairi, an AQAP experts based in Sana’a said that Ansar Sharia would not lieabout the claims that Banna was alive. “The group has nothing to loose by staying quiet after the announcing of Banna's death but for it to come out with a statement is only proof that they are confident in their claims.”
The initial reports were wrong!Getting the age wrong doesn't invalidate the source. They reported what they were initially told.
No, not at all, in fact I'm a bit baffled how you come to that conclusion?...a different location is possible (due to bad intelligence) or intentionally killing the child & using Al-Banna as a smokescreen is also possible, both pointed out by Jeremy Scahill; in the source I gave you.No al-Banna? Well that kind of makes claims to his living void, doesn't it?
So who decides this things?

I'm sure there are a group of military and intelligence yuppy-yucks who decide these things..
I laugh when I see SA and other Obama haters blame Obama for making these calls...
Yeah..
You lost the war, but still want to fight the battle...who's the dumb ass?
So the terrorists are your source.
You find them trustworthy, do you?
Actually, they have every reason to say he's alive. Portraying the killing of the kid as deliberate or useless since the target wasn't there completely plays into terrorist propaganda.
OK, show me al-Banna.The initial reports were wrong!
Why would they target the kid?No, not at all, in fact I'm a bit baffled how you come to that conclusion?...a different location is possible (due to bad intelligence) or intentionally killing the child & using Al-Banna as a smokescreen is also possible, both pointed out by Jeremy Scahill; in the source I gave you.
Explain.
This thread is pointless. No one cares about due process anymore. Well not in Murica anymore. And with Obama in office, people are okay with it because Obama is a cool hip black president that every Murican can relate to.
agreed. If you are a terrorist, much better to hang out in Saudi Arabia or the US than a worthless country like Yemen that nobody important cares about. Im surprised anyone lives in Yemen, they should all just move, its really easy after all. Same with Sudan, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Somalia. And if terrorists arrive with you, well just keep moving, Im sure eventually you'll reach a country that is either free of terrorists (certified by US intelligence, they do have a list right? Either way most terrorists usually put a flag or a uniform so they are easily distinguishable, if you cant tell your neighbors are terrorists you just arent looking, after all the US can easily see where terrorists are from thousands of miles away) or has enough military/economic clout to avoid getting a few dozen precision missiles with 1000 pounds of explosive each delivered to them.
