@emptywheel it could include Libya but only if Libyan ISIL affiliate actually fights against the US.

@KenGude As we've just laid out an American died in Corinthian Hotel attack. Rubio just made case for AUMF including Libya, as I predicted -
@emptywheel it is possible but Rubio wanting it doesn’t make it so -
@KenGude Well, I'll just remain on the record as having warned that it is an obvious application of the AUMF. Pretending it is not is unwise -
@emptywheel i’m certainly not pretending it isn’t, as I said in first response its possible. but it takes more than just saying ‘we’re ISIL' -
@KenGude No. It takes President deciding, potentially in secret, "They're ISIL." Which already happens all the time. -
@emptywheel all previous determinations of associated forces done in secret but Cong not powerless - put transparency in the AUMF -
@KenGude Let's hope they do. - 11 more replies
