No, I don't know all that. All I have is the government's word that there's a single shred of evidence implicating al-Awlaki in anything.
If it bothers you so much, reactivate your security clearance and get a government job with the NSA. Then release it all to the public. Me, I don't play armchair general.
But you're right about one thing: I am ticked off that this alleged intel was not unclassified and shown to the public before al-Awlaki was killed in our name. Very, very ticked off. And rightfully so.
Yes, I know, you don't believe in national security and classified information. I do. If they're going to make that public, I feel they might as well make our intercontinental nuclear armaments open to the entire internet to fire at will wherever they like. If you're going to unclassify one thing for your reasons, then they should unclassify EVERYTHING. All or nothing.
