In the Awlaki debate - which should have happened in court - #FF @Hegghammer & @will_mccants & @alleyesonjihad & @azelin smart thinkers, all
@Hegghammer My guess is USG needed Awlaki case so collapsed entire plot as his, ignored Quso, Shihri, others @gregorydjohnsen @will_mccants

@emptywheel@gregorydjohnsen@will_mccants needed it for what? Why would they wilfully pursue a wrong lead? -
@Hegghammer Because govt tried to kill Awlaki at time when didn't believe him to be operational, per Webster@gregorydjohnsen@will_mccants -
@Hegghammer 9 months to decrypt, so after 7/16/10 memo. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1361495/British-Airways-expert-guilty-terrorism-plane-bomb-plot.html …@gregorydjohnsen@will_mccants -
@emptywheel@gregorydjohnsen@will_mccants maybe there was other evidence? Again, why wld they go after him if didnt think him operational? -
@Hegghammer Reason D Blair gave in 2/2010 was his actions led to actions that endangered US. So recruitment?@gregorydjohnsen@will_mccants -
@emptywheel@gregorydjohnsen@will_mccants for record, I'm not endorsing the killing. Just saying Awlaki clearly had operational role -
@Hegghammer I've not seen evidence 1 way or another. I do know govt's public case in UndieBomb attack shoddy@gregorydjohnsen@will_mccants

@Hegghammer My point is not AWalki innocent; it's that govt's evidence is obviously dodgy.@gregorydjohnsen@will_mccants@intelwire
