He simply counts anyone he kills as an enemy combatant.
Buried deep in a lengthy New York Times article about President Barack Obama’s secret terrorist “kill list” lies disturbing allegations by several administration officials that the president has embraced a controversial method for counting civilians killed by U.S. unmanned aerial drone strikes in which the definition of “militant” has been deceptively stretched in order to artificially lower civilian death tolls.
In an effort to minimize official civilian death tolls from these strikes, in which hundreds of innocent people have been killed in Pakistan alone, several administration officials told the Times that the administration is effectively counting “all military-age males in a strike zone as combatants,” barring “explicit” posthumous intelligence proving their innocence.
Same way Obama does everything else – cheating and lying.
Boy, gender segregation by Islamic fundamentalists can really be worked to advantage.

Sure sounds like profiling.
“The logic behind Obama’s novel approach, say counterterrorism officials, is that young men in an area of known terrorist activity are likely “up to no good,” justifying the use of deadly force against them even when there is no evidence that they’re actually engaged in or even supporting terrorism. “
watch out Chicago!
Obama falsely projects his views of deadly force onto Zimmerman.
What a lovely talent: to see kettles, but no pots.

And ‘military-age’ has probably also been stretched to those no longer breast-feeding.
In many of those countries “Military Age” includes those no longer Breast Feeding! Just like Viet Nam! A suicide bomber only needs to be old enough to walk.
Reminiscent of the infamous “jobs created or saved” statistic.
“. . . barring “explicit” posthumous intelligence proving their innocence.”
Guilty until proven innocent?
Where is Code Pink?
Or ANSWER, for that matter. And why isn’t Cindy Sheehan camped out in the golf course galleries in Martha’s Vineyard?
