  5. Drone strikes: What's the law?

    In 2011, Anwar Awlaki, a U.S. citizen, was reportedly targeted and killed by our government in a drone attack. Ever since, a chorus of scholars, lawyers and civil and human rights activists has been asking about due process. Now we know they were right to be concerned. The Obama administration's lawyers have gotten it wrong.

  7. The law of drones

    President Barack Obama's nominee to head the Central Intelligence Agency, John O. Brennan, was about as cagey as they come last week at his confirmation hearing before the Senate Intelligence Committee. Asked right off the bat by the committee chairwoman, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, whether he would be more forthcoming than his predecessors in apprising committee members of covert U.S. military operations abroad &mdash; particularly the administration's secret drone program of targeted killings &mdash; he vigorously affirmed that to be his intention. Then, for the next 31/2 hours, he politely declined to say virtually anything else of substance on the subject.

  8. Should U.S. citizens in Al Qaeda be tried for treason?

    In my <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-mcmanus-drones-20130210,0,6759551.column">Sunday column</a>, I wrote that it&rsquo;s past time for the Obama administration to subject its nomination of suspected terrorists for the &ldquo;kill list&rdquo; -- secret death warrants, to put it bluntly -- to some form of independent review, at least when the targets are U.S. citizens.

  9. McManus: The other drone question

    It has been 11 years since the United States began using missile-firing drones to attack Al Qaeda in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia. But only now are we beginning a full public debate on this new form of warfare, and it took the nomination of the Obama administration's drone czar, John Brennan, as director of the Central Intelligence Agency, to force it.

  10. Targeted killings: What are the limits?

    Thursday's confirmation hearings for John Brennan, President Obama's nominee to head the Central Intelligence Agency, offer a rare opportunity for senators to press the architect of the administration's policy of targeted killings about its legal rationale and practical application. The urgency of such an inquiry was underlined by the release this week of a troubling Justice Department document suggesting that the administration asserts the authority to assassinate suspected terrorists, including U.S. citizens, even when they aren't planning an imminent attack &mdash; guidelines that could allow for a broad expansion of executive power to authorize such killings.
