My Take
Anwar al-Awlaki is not a figure I can write about lightly. Born in Las Cruces, New Mexico, and educated at San Diego State, he became the first U.S. citizen deliberately killed by an American drone strike. What stays with me is the chasm between his origins and his ending: an American-Yemeni cleric whose path forked into something the world is still arguing over. I have no admiration to offer, only a sober interest in how lives diverge so sharply, and how the choices a person makes and the people who push them can carve a fate apart. I record him quietly, without celebration.
