An interesting little video showing some gov US bloke being questioned about a US citizen only 16 years old, killed by a US drone in Yemen. I watched it and have a slightly different take on it than some might expect.
So, it seems to me that the gist of the questions trying to put this guy on the spot, was that the person killed was an American. Because it was an American, then that made it much of a worse thing. At least that's the inference I'm getting of it (BTW the bloke blamed the kids father for his death, who'd been killed himself two weeks earlier in a separate drone strike).
What about all the other innocents killed regularly by US drones then? Why aren't the questioners asking that? Is their life more expendable?
