BBC News - Military sued over al-Awlaki Yemen drone death
This will be interesting.
US drones kill civilians on a regular basis but the legality of summery execution without trial has never been tested in court.
This child, a US born citizen, was killed by such a strike even though he was never accused of anything.
(I'm not even thinking about arguing that his daddy wasn't a bastard so don't bother with that one)
Relatives of three Americans killed in drone strikes in Yemen are suing top Pentagon and CIA officials, saying the killings were unconstitutional.
Cleric Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan died in September. Awlaki's son Abdulrahman, 16, died in October.
Relatives accuse Defence Secretary Leon Panetta, CIA Director David Petraeus and two military commanders of approving and directing the strikes.
