Relatives of 3 US citizens killed in drone strikes in Yemen last fall sue top military/CIA officials. http://goo.gl/gU3Zm
@JimWhiteGNV They claimed that in the first ACLU/CCR case. Of course, given all the targeted killing leaks, they do treat it as such.

@emptywheel Truly amazing that they don't see why that is a problem. Who needs judges when a political determination leads to death? -
@JimWhiteGNV@emptywheel That is a historical legal term of art as used here. -
@bmaz@emptywheel But does that really provide a work-around for avoiding the judicial system for applying the death penalty? -
@JimWhiteGNV@emptywheel So far, the answer appears to be yes. -
@bmaz@jimwhitegnv@emptywheel@jhwoodyatt so murdering Americans is ok, as long as it is a political question, like the founding fathers. - End of conversation
