> not better than Saudi Arabia

> Obama-era drone killings

The drone killings are not good, but in no way equivalent to the ills of SA. The murder of a journalist isn't the same as the murder of a wanted violent criminal.

Yeah, because those drones only kill 'violent criminals', not also civilians. Also, these 'violent criminals' have a right for a fair process, otherwise it's just murder - which it is.

I'm pretty sure I described both cases as murder.

In any case: when has the US targeted civilians? And where does the "right to X" come from?
