He presents Anwar Al-awlaki in an incredibly human way. You see the guy go from peaceful middle class kid to angry jihadist over the coarse of a few years. It's unsettling how much harassment from the us govt happens during those years. I think Scahill tries to use it to make the point that the enemies we're fighting now are our own creation.

Dunno, the ending left me feeling pretty haunted. Let me know what you think.
