It is an implicit condition of the first of those statements—
"Does anyone here care that Anwar al-Awlaki, an american citizen, was targeted and killed by a drone for basically exercising his freedom of speech outside of the US by hosting an Al Qaeda inspired english speaking magazine?"
(Boldface accent added)
—and nearly explicit in the second:
"... he wasn't a major player in Al Qaeda, in fact he was nothing more than a propagandist from all accounts."
(Boldface accent added)
I agree that you don't put out a hit on someone for speaking their mind, or even being a propagandist. I just think, as
I noted at the outset, that you're pushing it—oversimplifying the case, to be specific—with the free speech bit.
Everything else is only
what you botched in your response.
