The Washington Post News Alert: Secret memo sanctioned targeting of Aulaqi, officials say

News Alert: Secret memo sanctioned targeting of Aulaqi, officials say
September 30, 2011 8:28:06 PM
----------------------------------------

The Justice Department wrote a secret memorandum authorizing the lethal targeting of Anwar al-Aulaqi, the American-born radical cleric who was killed by a U.S. drone strike Friday, according to administration officials. The document was produced following a review of the legal issues raised by striking a U.S. citizen and involved senior lawyers from across the administration. There was no dissent about the legality of killing Aulaqi, the officials said.

“What constitutes due process in this case is a due process in war,” said one of the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss closely held deliberations within the administration.
