Attorney General Eric Holder, in a letter to congressional leaders and chairman of key congressional committees made public on the eve of what was billed as a major counterterrorism speech by President Barack Obama, also confirmed the deaths in drone attacks in Yemen of three other Americans that already had been widely reported: those of radical cleric Anwar Al-Awlaki , his teenage son, Abd al-Rahmn Anwar al-Awlaki; and Samir Khan, the American who ran al Qaeda’s web-based propaganda magazine Inspire. Previously the Obama administration had only acknowledged the senior Awlaki’s killing and refused to publicly confirm or deny reports of the other deaths.

The letter also confirmed that U.S. drones had killed Jude Kenan Mohammed of Raleigh, N.C., more than a year after a local news report quoted a friend as saying he had died in an attack in Pakistan in November 2011.

Holder said in the letter that the senior Awlaki was the only U.S. citizen targeted in a drone strike.

So we have Anwar Al-Waki and Samir Khan, both killed in the strike that targeted Al-Waki, and Abdulrahman Al-Waki and Jude Kenan Mohammed, who were killed in strikes targeting someone else.

1. So let's recap- 4 terrorists killed who would have killed thousands of innocents.

with zero rights taken away.

and kudos as always to the esteemed Eric Holder for a continous great job.
Though I know the NRA cannot stand him, and for good reason.

2. Alternately, 3 Americans killed while trying to hit someone else? (nt)

3. All who were terrorists and supporting the terrorists who were plotting to kill

As I am Jewish, I know if one could have dropped a drone on Hitler and it killed 5 next to him
to save 20 million or more people,I know which way I would have gone.

And have you forgotten the 3000 people killed on 9-11, and more killed in the first WTC and all the other terroristic killings in the past?

Of course, they could have had a honest job and then it goes without saying,
they could have been working and then they could have been hurt during a terrorist attack
as then they would have been just innocent people working like those on 9-11 when the terrorists attacked them.

Plotting against the country historically from day one is treason.

4. Exactly

They are trying to make it into something shady to hang on Obama.

5. The terrorists in London and Boston acted on Al-Awlaki's videos AFAIK

and others were influenced by them too (including the Fort Hood shooter).

I want to know what's in these videos?

Is there some kind of NLP hypnosis technique?
