“Thanks to NBC News, a lot of (now-former) drone supporters are confronted with a confidential Justice Department white paper justifying presidential killing of American citizens abroad, seemingly on the basis of thin air. The document, 16 pages of Bushian doublespeak, declares ‘Here the Justice Department concludes only that where the following three conditions are met, a U.S. operation using lethal force in a foreign country against a U.S. citizen who is a senior operational leader of al-Qa’ida or an associated force would be lawful.’ In other words, we’ll obliterate you because of reasons, and you’re now a terrorist because we said so.”
