Obama License to Kill

Obama's administration doesn't have to publicly disclose its legal justification for the drone attacks and other methods it has used to kill.

It is not illegal now for the U.S. to kill American citizens without a trial.

U.S. District Judge Colleen McMahon wrote. "I can find no way around the thicket of laws and precedents that effectively allow the Executive Branch of our Government to proclaim as perfectly lawful certain actions that seem on their face incompatible with our Constitution and laws, while keeping the reasons for their conclusion a secret."
