      @Ali_Gharib The ACLU suit is extremely unlikely to see any success. State will argue that it targeted hostile individual in strike.

      @drfarls Fair enuf. Would you limit this accusation to being 'alleged unlawful killing' rather than 'alleged murder'?

      Replying to @Ali_Gharib

      @Ali_Gharib To be clear, *either one of those things may be true*. But even ACLU suit doesn't suggest either way.

      @drfarls Isn't 'challenging the targeted killings' tantamount to saying they were unlawful killings?

      Replying to @Ali_Gharib

      @Ali_Gharib Sure. And if you want, you can say "ACLU alleges unlawful killings," because no court is going to do it.

      @drfarls Butting in here: but dicta in the ACLU/NYT FOIA seems to support "illegal." http://www.emptywheel.net/2013/02/17/colleen-mcmahon-the-covert-op-that-killed-anwar-al-awlaki-was-illegal/ … @Ali_Gharib

      @drfarls Actually, I take that back. Both Awlakis and Khan included in suit. But implication is yes, bc discussion of traitor @Ali_Gharib

      @emptywheel @Ali_Gharib I don't think that the legality of Khan et al depends on assessment as traitor.

          @emptywheel @Ali_Gharib If Khan et al were accidental killed in process of striking another target, their legal status is "civilian."

          @drfarls If wrongful death goes forward (State Secrets presumably off table now) it'll be interesting if that's actually status @Ali_Gharib

          @emptywheel @Ali_Gharib And the legality of the strike depends on assessment of target, risk, etc; doctrine of double effect.
