Have you seen the names of all six men killed in this car? Have you seen proof that they were all involved in terrorists threats to the U.S.? Or is the CIA's word proof enough for you? It isn't for me. Our country can't kill anyone anywhere anytime and say we know they were terrorists but aren't required to prove it. If we engage in that sort of behavior we are criminals ourselves.
