Why do you seem to be sympathizing, & characterizing him as a victim? America seems content to marginalize its own citizens willy-nilly; imagine your awlaki as such mindsets might. ... I can't either, but think if one makes a noise that a power doesn't like it should do itself the favor of being sincere. If the power "help"ed him to fulfill his predisposition, I think you know which came first. Ditto if that predisposition was noticed & encouraged. Only if the "help" was provided with the intent of changing his mind could I regard him as not responsible for his words, in so doing diminishing his personhood. I don't feel free to do so. I'm fair game.
