On: DOJ Argues: US can kill own citizens without review when state secrets involved

That's a pretty sound technical argument, sadly.

My understanding is that Idlib is mostly where the Russian and Syrian Air Forces were bombing the Turkish-backed jihadis. I wonder if the Turkish Air Force (largely equipped with US ordnance on US-made F-16s) was flying sorties in the region as well?

The Turkish Airforce would have been supporting the groups operating in Idlib (of course, if it was the TAF, they may have simply made a mistake).

Yes, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were "friendly fire" incidents between the jihadis and their covert air support provider.
