How is Obama's killing of Abdulrahman any different from Pinochet's murder of Orlando Letelier and Ronni Moffitt?  In the one case, a 16-year-old boy has had his life snuffed out because he had the wrong father.  In the other case, a man had his life snuffed out because he had the wrong philosophical beliefs.  Given that the Letelier and Moffitt killings were treated as murders, why shouldn't the Abdulraham killing be treated as murder too?
