Greg Palast of the BBC also said something similar. OBL didn't seem capable of it from what I've read. Disclaimer: I don't agree in killing innocent civilians to protest US/Israel/etc policy. Sidenote: the US supported terrorism in Central America, calling them "freedom fighters" in the 80s. Of course, coups and violent overthrows go back to the 50s... even further back in Asia to the 1800s. Also, the US also helped train dictators through the "School of Americas". Michael Moore's "TV Nation" did a report on it on FOX in the early 90s. The point being: get ready for more killings: by "moderate fighters", mercenaries, or drones... or fighter strikes like Bill Clinton's Balkans and Iraq hi-jinks. Americans won't really make drone kills an issue. Abortion and school funding... now that's something much more important.
