A month ago it was revealed on purpose or by a loose lipped Obama admin official that the President is personally overseeing a kill "no capture" program that targets suspected terrorists, their families, friends and pets (if they get in the way). The President of the United States is basically ordering hits on people his inner circle has labeled as bad individuals. Its basically a "Treadstone" like program like in those Bourne movies. OK so the Pres doesn't fuck around and is taking out the trash before it gets full. But now many are injecting the "Freedom of Information Act" in typical "democracy" fashion, to get a look under the hood of this top secret program so they can say they know who the President is going to have killed next or had killed. But why? Isn't the whole point of a top secret program, is for it to be...secret? What did they think the President was doing when he signed off on the construction of drone bases all over the middle east and Africa? Now some liberal groups are willing to put our security and the security of our hit squads in jeopardy just to fulfill their own nosiness.
Under the Freedom of Information Act, the Times and the ACLU sought records regarding the legal justifications for the alleged U.S. government killing of U.S. citizens and others associated with al-Qaida and other terrorist groups. In a court document filed late Wednesday in New York, the Justice Department said the release of such documents "would reveal information that could damage the government's counterterrorism efforts."source: huffpost
