How is killing al-Awlaki different from killing bin Laden?
Bin Laden actually killed people as opposed to posting a blog?
A few things spring to mind
1. Awlaki was much more involved than that operational 2. Bin Laden didn't really kill anyone either if you want to get down to semantics nonsense. 3. should we have waited around until he was successful before we killed him.
As far as I am aware, hiring a hitman is legally considered murder, so I see no reason why financial reimbursement for suicide attackers would be any different. And where do you draw the line with such a Minority Report-esque standard for extrajudicial killing?
