@MikeDrewWhat They tried to kill Awlaki at least 3 times. First time COULDN'T be AUMF. So it may be different just for each time.
@MikeDrewWhat In some ways it's very legalistic, bc govt says (w/o presenting evidencec) Awlaki directed UndieBomb. Didn't know that tho.

@emptywheel No. Bt does AUMF establish knowledge thresholds relating to IC estimates for POTUS detrmns on terms like "asst'd forces," etc.? -
@MikeDrewWhat Dunno. It's possible there was an OLC memo to match. -
@emptywheel It doesn't. "Those individuals and groups which the President determines...." -
@MikeDrewWhat Sure, but there's been evolving understanding of who that includes. W/Warsame, at least worry of POTUS exceeding arbitrarily
