@emptywheel so there's no pixie dust there?? no universal natsec EO??@ColMorrisDavis -
@libdem2 No. But Obama appears to still be using the one Bush signed on 9/17/01 which is an empty shell@ColMorrisDavis -
@emptywheel is current unidentified drone target Adam Gadan??@ColMorrisDavis -
@libdem2@emptywheel Don't know, but a good guess. Shortcoming of EO, AUMF & Art. II is that they have no legal weight outside the US. -
@ColMorrisDavis AUMF seems pretty broad to me, unless you mean SOFA and immunity??@emptywheel -
@libdem2@emptywheel The AUMF carries as much weight outside the US as a FATA loya jurga decree carries inside the US. -
@ColMorrisDavis well we do want Karzai to sign, but because SOFA is next??@emptywheel
