Alright, let's try it this way. Since I'm not the person that claimed the children were part of a targeted assassination, let's focus on Anwar Al-Awlaki.

1 - Was he, or was he not, intentionally assassinated by the Obama Administration?

2 - Was he or was he not a US citizen?

3 - Is that, or is that not an extrajudicial assassination?

I wasn't talking about Anwar Al-Awlaki. I was talking about what happened to his children.

So sorry, but I will not be able to join you on whatever semantic buggy ride it is you're trying to pull me onto.

No, you intentionally ignored the entire point of the OP. And you did that because it is a case where President Obama ordered the assassination of a US citizen, and that citizen stayed on his hit list for 18 months until he was killed, despite his family begging the US government the entire time to charge him with a crime so that he could have his day in court.

Right - because their intellectual dishonesty was so blatant that it not only distracts from, but actually cheapens the morally indignant point they were trying to make.

Why do you think we shouldn't be morally indignant about a US President ordering the assassination of a US citizen?

You can be indignant about whatever you want.

But as said, I am longer able you to accompany you on this semantic exercise.
