The outrage caused by Rory Stewart's suggestion that jihadis should be killed is a bit late. UK gov has been extrajudicially killing UK citizens in Syria since ~2013. Seems it does this because the men are dangers but the evidence against them is not permissible in a court of law
Yeah well, the West has been committing war crimes with full public knowledge for decades. So it's a bit odd to focus on this one statement.
