In a speech at Northwestern University yesterday, Attorney General Eric Holder provided the most detailed explanation yet for why the Obama administration
believes it has the authority to secretly target U.S. citizens for
execution by the CIA without even charging them with a crime, notifying
them of the accusations, or affording them an opportunity to respond,
instead condemning them to death without a shred of transparency or
judicial oversight.
The administration continues to conceal the legal memorandum it obtained to justify these killings, and, as The New York Times’
Charlie Savage noted, Holder’s “speech contained no footnotes or
specific legal citations, and it fell far short of the level of detail
contained in the Office of Legal Counsel memo…”. The Young Turks host
Cenk Uygur breaks it down.
