Does anything justify killing a 16-year-old non-american citizen without due process?

Just saying. This post is largely about how people in the war-driven countries are perceived by Americans as just abstract figures, instead of real people, thus, making it easy for them to be pro-war.

EDIT:

To the comment below: You know exactly what I meant when I said it - the us vs. them mentality.

Case in point: Latvian hacker about to be extradited to the US for allegedly committing computer crimes. Guess what? U.S. has not supplied a single item of evidence about anything - they just know that he did it.

This, as we can see, spills over to other departments of the u.s. government - fighting terrorism, national security, etc.

Seems like they just come up with random crap to do for the fun of it.
