Remember, we are now in an age where we do not know what our government is doing. In fact, we're not allowed to know what it's doing, or even why we're not allowed to know.
Smart money shouldn't bet that this is the only actual occurrence.
Yes, anything else is pure speculation. Wars have started because of speculation like that.

That's naive. We are not now in such an age, it has always been like this. We are now in an age where it's far easier to know what is going on. Things aren't getting worse. They aren't getting less transparent. Read your history if you think the government was more transparent in decades past. It wasn't.
We've done far, far worse than target Al Awlaki. Hell, if that's our biggest concern, we are doing well.
We _know_ of one instance and that instance alone is bad enough that we should be alarmed, but "smart money" doesn't legitimize the claim that it has happened on multiple occasions.
As far as we know.
