Well, the guy gunning down US soldiers might be one... So might that guy selling them guns.
That's not how it works, though. With these targeting killings, the guys in Arizona can't do investigation with a drone 1,000 feet in the air. They get passed intelligence that a target is in a particular location. They pilot the drone to that location, do some cursory verification that the situation looks like the scenario they were told to look for (e.g. a caravan of vehicles or a building) and they blow it up.
We wanna know where that intelligence came from for these targeted killings. I don't think anybody is losing any sleep over drones blowing up guys engaged in firefights with U.S. troops.
