@RupertStone83 No, it is known to. Woodward and others reported that years ago. -
@emptywheel Ok, that makes sense. Much reporting on drones screws up by assuming AUMF is the ultimate legal basis for CIA here. -
@RupertStone83 Not my reporting! First attempt to kill Awlaki was presidential authorization (tho JSOC). That's part of why they freak. -
@emptywheel No, wasn't referring to you! Yes, kill lists, Terror Tuesdays etc. Obama puts his thumb down & bang goes another US citizen.

@emptywheel His anger that the Senate would DARE to review the CIA's work is the most telling thing. The CIA needs to be abolished. -
@armandodkos Yup. Using that line in my post. But at least he has agreed it should be razed.
