OK, can you refute the article? Are the quotes false or taken out of context?
The New York Times:
“Belligerents who also happen to be U.S. citizens do not enjoy immunity where non-citizen belligerents are valid military objectives,” said Jeh C. Johnson, the Defense Department general counsel, in a speech at Yale Law School.

InfoWars:
In a speech at Yale Law School, Jeh C. Johnson, the Defense Department general counsel, also said that US courts do not have the right to review such cases, or pass judgment on decisions taken by the Executive branch on such matters.
“Belligerents who also happen to be U.S. citizens do not enjoy immunity where non-citizen belligerents are valid military objectives,” said Johnson.

Some people are just so blinded by hatred for Alex Jones that they won't even look at what's posted.
It's understandable.
The truth is scary, and this is some deadly, killing fields, death camp stuff that is now on the books, a matter of settled US law, and that scares the hell out people and makes them angry as well.
Not angry at the government of course, but angry at who exposed the lie and shattered their comfortable world view, where everything was basically A-OK and just needed a little fine tuning.
