i read the article from the wsj link. if one reads it, it seems a lot of uncertain or clearly ambiguous reporting about the two missile strikes is published. it just sounds like some made up stuff to me. a missile strike on a pickup truck awlaki was in. two buddies run to help. they switch trucks. awlaki got away. the two buddies were blown up. sounds like they got their details from the yemeni news wire. just one guy's opinion. no reflection on the poster of the link intended.
