“The so-called targeted-killing program—in which drones from afar shoot missiles at buildings, cars, and people overseas—began under the George W. Bush administration. The program, which sometimes kills innocent civilians, was broadened under Obama to include the killing of Americans.  Government officials from Obama on down have publicly commented on the program, but they claimed the Office of Legal Counsel’s memo outlining the legal rationale about it was a national security secret. The appeals court, however, said on Monday that officials’ comments about overseas drone attacks means the government has waived its secrecy argument.”
