Colorado native Abdulrahman al-Awlaki wasnt in a movie theater when his life met a sudden, violent end. He was enjoying a backyard barbeque with his cousin in southeastern Yemen when the home was destroyed by a drone-delivered Hellfire missile.
Abdulrahman was sixteen years old when he was murdered by the United States government. He had run away from home in a desperate attempt to find his father, Anwar, a "radical cleric" who was the well-publicized target of the Obama administrations assassination program.
Despite the fact that Anwar al-Awlaki was never formally charged with a crime let alone convicted of one he was assassinated on Obamas orders two weeks before the Regime slaughtered his son and eight other innocent people.
Seeking to justify the murder of a child, the Obama administration circulated the story that the 16-year-old was actually an adult "suspected" of being a "militant."
That story was refined somewhat once it was proven that Abdulrahman was a teenager. However, the administration has never dropped the pretense that the summary execution of that innocent U.S. citizen was, in some sense, a strategic success. Since the Regime killed him and, in its sovereign wisdom, the Regime never errs the young man simply couldn't be innocent.

Obama says, "we will never know fully what causes someone to take the life of another," but I bet he does.
