ACLU Sues Obama Admin over Secrecy of Drone Killings

HeadlineMar 17, 2015

The American Civil Liberties Union has sued the Obama administration over the secrecy of its drone wars overseas. The lawsuit seeks basic details about the administration’s so-called targeted killing program, including records on how the government selects targets, determines the risk of potential civilian casualties, and assesses who was actually killed. The ACLU filed a Freedom of Information Act request for the information in October 2013, but has not received any records.
