      The faux trial that Feinstein & Brennan gave Anwar Awlaki today (with no evidence) was the only trial they gave him--and it was posthumous

      @jeremyscahill The things DiFi used as evidence are so weak it by itself ought to raise new concerns abt Awlaki killing.

      @emptywheel Brennan's stunned look in re Nidal Hasan was priceless.

      @jeremyscahill Right. DiFi ACTUALLY suggested that RECEIVING AND IGNORING emails should get you killed.

      @emptywheel @jeremyscahill Ignored as opposed to replied/forwarded? Or how do you know he ignored rather than receiving info from them?

      @MikeDrewWhat Though Awlaki did entertain helping hasna find a bride. Does that count as death-worthy?

      @emptywheel ...But no, not saying anything is death-worthy. Just reacting to your specific claims.

      @MikeDrewWhat You're WAY overestimating the substance of what Hasan was saying. In part, he was asking for help to find wife.

          @MikeDrewWhat He replied to 2 of something like 18 emails. The ones that offered him fame. The rest were ignored.

          @emptywheel I.e. if he had received an instruction from an AQ assoc. to detonate a bomb, would it matter if he "ignored" it by not replying?

          @MikeDrewWhat I get what you're saying. But it is so far outside the scope of these pathetic emails as to be meaningless.

          @emptywheel I totally didn't know what was in them, in fact I'd lost track in DiFi's litany who sent them. Was just responding to your arg.

          @MikeDrewWhat And my arg was based on how far out of reasonableness DiFi's statements were , based on having read emails.

          @emptywheel Sorry abt all that. I really did think what you were saying was that what mattered was that he didn't send an email back.

          @MikeDrewWhat No. I'm saying that the entire exchange is published and after reading it it is very clear Awlaki was blowing Hasan off.

          @emptywheel No, I'm not. You could use this argument (ignored) regarding info relating operative info. If your claim is the these emails >>
