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.”
