Isn’t this just a flat contradiction?

“Brennan told the committee that missile strikes by the unmanned drones are used only against targets planning to carry out attacks against the United States, never as retribution for an earlier one.

“Nothing could be further from the truth,” he declared.

Referring to one American citizen killed by a drone in Yemen in 2011, he said Anwar al-Awlaki had ties to at least three attacks planned or carried out on U.S. soil. They included the Fort Hood, Texas, shooting that claimed 13 lives in 2009, a failed attempt to down a Detroit-bound airliner the same year and a thwarted plot to bomb cargo planes in 2010.”

Note the dates – He was ‘connected’ to three attacks, two in 2009 and one in 2010, and killed in 2011. “Never as retribution”? Wait, what?

It’s obvious we’re going after the wrong traitors.

Nothing like treason against the Constitution to get your blood boiling. It rattles me that Senators could believe a secret process with secret evidence and secret witnesses are enough to get a person murdered by the State. They don’t even care if the person killed was guilty or not, just that the strikes don’t kill too many other civilians. Sick whacko’s every single one of them.
