For the first time, the Obama administration has formally and publicly acknowledged that the United States has killed four American citizens without charge or trial in drone strikes in Yemen and Pakistan.
this is the first time the government has explicitly admitted to carrying out the targeted killing of Anwar al-Awlaki and his 16-year-old son Abdulrahman al-Awlaki along with Samir Khan in Yemen and Jude Mohammad, who was killed in Pakistan. Previously they maintained that the mere existence of the program was too secret to confirm or deny
...when challenged, the Obama administration simply refuses to actually outline why it is legal in court. Instead, a federal judge ruled they can withhold the supposed legal justification while still maintaining that it is, in fact, legal.
The admission from Holder and the supposed justification outlined in his letter should be thoroughly disturbing to any American who enjoys the right to life, liberty and due process
No matter what you think about the men killed in these attacks, their ideology and their alleged activities, you must realize that when you strip the right to face a charge and trial before being killed by the government for one person, you strip that right from all Americans.
