US major media scoundrels approved, including a Washington Post editorial headlined, "Killing of Anwar al-Aulaqi was clearly justified," saying:
Doing so "was clearly justified, both legally and morally. (He) was dangerous, (and) Obama was right to place him on a target list. Considerable evidence supports the administration's contention that (he) played a direct role in attempted attacks on the United States, including the failed bombing of an airplane on Christmas day 2009..."
Fact check
Killing Al-Awlaki was morally indefensible extralegal murder. No evidence whatever connected him to crimes. He had nothing to do with the alleged Amsterdam-Detroit bound Christmas day incident.
The alleged culprit, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, a Nigerian citizen, was set up. Denied a UK entrance visa, he avoided a no fly list. He paid cash for a one-way ticket, checked no luggage, had a US visa but no passport, and was helped on board by a well-dressed Indian gentleman, facilitating Washington's false flag plot. Abdulmutallab was used as a convenient dupe.
Moreover, his so-called (PETN) explosive was so weak and technically deficient it failed to go off properly, and its fire cracker strength assured no possibility of damaging the aircraft, let alone down it.
"Perhaps more significant, (Awlaki), a charismatic teacher and fluent English speaker was instrumental in inspiring would-be jihadists in the United States and other Western countries...."
Fact check
No evidence proves he inspired violence anywhere. Moreover, whether in or out of the country, America's Constitution protects First Amendment rights without which all others are at risk - including Washington Post editorial writers' freedom to wrongfully slander Al-Awlaki and call murder justified.
