U.S. again bombs mourners

Note that there is no suggestion,  even from the “officials” on which these media reports (as usual) rely,  that the dead man was a Terrorist or even a “militant.” He was simply receiving condolences for his dead brother. But pursuant to the standards embraced by President Obama,  the brother — without knowing anything about him — is inherently deemed a “combatant” and therefore a legitimate target for death solely by virtue of being a “military-age male in a strike zone.” Of course,  killing family members of bombing targets is nothing new for this President: let’s recall the still-unresolved question of why Anwar Awlaki’s 16-year-old American son,  Abdulrahman,  was killed by a U.S. drone attack in Yemen two weeks after his father was killed.
