`Awlaki and Salih

So US killed `Awlaki.  I read the statement by the US government: it is unmistakable in expressing gratitude to the forces of `Ali `Abdullah Salih.  It all but paid tribute to the Salih regime.  It is certain that Salih delivered `Awlaki in return for continued US support.  The Yemeni regime is killing around 30 people a day, and the US government yesterday issued a statement criticizing repression in...Iran.  I kid you not.
