11. Al-Awlaki was an American citizen.

Born in New Mexico. Issued his last fatwa no later than Sept. 2011, when he was vaporized in a drone strike.

How that happened is pretty damn funny and worth a Google or two. Al-Awlaki put out a request for a submissive new Muslim wife and specified that she must be a cute blonde.

A disciple found just the woman for him, an attractive Croatian woman. But the disciple was working for the CIA, who had the blushing bride wired. As somebody wrote, the whole story was "like a James Bond movie written by the Coen brothers."

My sympathy is reserved for Molly Norris and his other victims, who continue to suffer for al-Awlaki's Sincerely Held Religious Beliefs.
