I'm well aware of Anwar al-Awklaki. Lived in Yemen and was a recruiter for and a senior member of Al Qaeda, a terrorist group we are at war with, connected with a number of terrorist attacks against the west, as well as kidnappings and assassination plots. And thats kind of just scratching the surface.

He wasn't working at US Cyber Command in the US.

I'm assuming you understand the vast difference here. And that waging war against the US puts you on a different playing field.

I assumed you would assume that.

I was specifically replying to

> People who believe nonsense about the government assassinating our own citizens

ensuring the reader knows the US definitely kills US citizens (without / in absence of trial) depending on the circumstances.

Brings me no joy to report, but many falsely believe otherwise.
