I guess we're officially in Yemen now...
The Bannon thing... makes me want to turn down my Nazi detector. It is the democrats turn to bitch about executive orders, Christ it's almost time to turn back to the libertarians. |
Is it true that the National Security Council has authority over the "we promise we'll only use it on bad guys" drone strikes on citizens without due process? I need the cellar to be my reality check, here, because I've had to swear off all political radio/TV/internet for a bit, it's too much.

We know over 700 of less than 800 prisoners in Guantanamo were innocent. What has changed to avert that stupidity? Nothing. It is still legal. Now we have a president who knows someone is evil only because he 'feels' it is true. Every non-American in the world has good reason to fear. America can kidnap anyone and put them in secret prisons - without judicial process. Because the victim is not an American citizen. These same extremists (and The Donald) even says torture is good. |
Mmkay, except not one word of that answered my question.
UT? It's not a leading question, I really want to know. I don't have the energy to figure this one out. |

There. Are you happy now? |
In an Obama administration, AG Holder said that in theory, the President has that authority within the borders of the USA. But it has never been exercised and would be highly unusual.

I only found this article which outlines the Obamadministration chain of command for drone strikes.

That's interesting, I would expect the chain between 350C Task Force and the President is primarily FYI and rubber stamped at each step, until it gets to the top.
I would hope at the top they would scrutinize it more closely as well as take the political considerations into account. When it's passed to JSOC I'd assume decisions are only on their ability to do it. I still maintain Anwar al Awlaki was not a US citizen. He had renounced his citizenship publicly. While he had not done the defined deliver a letter to an embassy as spelled out in the rules, he had joined a foreign military fighting the US. |
