Since taking office, President Obama has expanded the Bush Administration’s use of drones to target al Qaeda and Taliban leaders. Many have urged the Obama Administration to articulate legal justification for the continued use of drones to target and kill terrorists. The Administration addressed concerns last March when Harold Koh, State Department Legal Adviser, made a speech to the American Society of International Law. The arguments raise very important questions about the Administration’s targeted killing policy, such as: Who may be targeted, where may the targeting take place, and are targeted killings illegal assignations under U.S. domestic law?
