Report: No evidence al-Awlaki was killed in Yemen

Yemen's security agencies have no substantial evidence that al-Qaeda leader Anwar al-Awlaki was killed in a recent airstrike in the eastern province of Mareb, an official security source said Thursday.
'The latest information available to the security agencies is that al-Awlaki was driving in a motorcade of three cars when a US drone targeted them (on September 30),' the source told the Yemeni website Mareb Press on condition of anonymity.
He added that one car had been hit, while the other two escaped.

That could be potentially embarrassing if true.

Well, I guess the impeachment's off due to habeus corpus.

Oh, wait. There is no habeus corpus, as Dubya suspended it and Obama still hasn't reinstated it. Yo, O man! You had better get on the ball!

He was reported killed before so it could happen again. There are no pictures of his body or anything.

There's been no evidence released that Osama Bin Laden was killed under Obama's watch either. That hasn't stopped the U.S. media from reporting it as if it were true. And if I was Al Awlaki I would do everything in my power not to undue the rumor that I was dead.

Are you kidding? He was trying to stir up dissent and rally others to fight against the US. What would rally his followers more than proving to the world he isn't dead and that the US is lying about its successes in the middle east to try to improve morale?

So says the government. So far they haven't released that evidence. Don't forget this is the same guy that dined at the Pentagon post 9/11.

I said what I would do. I'm of the "live to fight another day" camp. You can always change your look, come up with a new name and release other videos to "inspire". Besides his "inspiration" really hasn't paid off all that much. Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold killed as many Americans than the Ft. Hood shooter and the VA tech shooter killed almost 3 times as many. And don't get me started on the goofy underwear bomber that had to have U.S. acquiescence to get on the plane in the first place.

Anyone got an Emmanuel Goldstein feeling?

I sit back in amusement how people actually believe government when they have been caught so many times in lie after lie. To think a 6 foot man and his cohorts had the capability to penetrate the world's largest superpower on 9/11 and succeed is amazing. Not to mention, for 10 years allegedly alluding this super power in a game of hide and seek--when everyone knows satellite capability can spot the flea on the ass of a donkey.

al-Awlaki was a CIA asset just like Osama bin laden was--we should be more concerned with the CIA terrorism in all reality!

A Prosecutor will tell you without a body it is all circumstantial. I call it the benefit of the doubt....Government gets the benefit and citizens get the doubt.

War is a racket, no doubt!
