“The American Civil Liberties Union today appealed a judge’s ruling allowing the President Barack Obama administration to keep mum on its legal basis for its drone targeted killing program, including information connected to the killing of Americans via drones. The appeal concerns an ‘Alice in Wonderland’ decision by U.S. District Court Judge Colleen McMahon of New York, who in January ruled that she was trapped in a ‘paradoxical situation’ of allowing the administration to claim it was legal to kill enemies outside traditional combat zones while keeping the legal rationale secret.”
