Just misdirection. They consider any American a combatant by such broad terms, they can 'justify' killing anyone. That's the real issue, because it leaves loopholes that, even if they don't abuse, could be abused at some point....and probably already has.     It's a travesty that Holder is even still employed. He should be behind bars for giving millions of dollars worth of guns to mexican criminals, guns that were used against US citizens. That's treason, and he should be facing a firing squad.
