ACLU Sues Obama for Assassination of US Born 16-Year-Old Teen (But Trump Is Hitler!)
ACLU to Obama: You Can’t Just Vaporize Americans Without Judicial Process - The American Civil Liberties Union is suing the Obama administration over the deaths of three American citizens who were killed by US drone strikes in Yemen last year. Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan were killed in the same attack in early September; Awlaki’s 16 year-old son, Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, was killed in a separate strike later that month.
“This suit is an effort to enforce the Constitution’s most fundamental guarantee, the guarantee of due process,” said Jamil Jaffer, deputy legal director of the ACLU, on a conference call with reporters. “Ten years ago extrajudicial killing by the United States was exceptional. Now it’s routine.”
The ACLU’s lawsuit isn’t about drones, even though drones were used in all three killings in question. Instead, it’s about targeted killings more broadly, including those carried out by drone strikes and those performed by elite American military units. The lawsuit contends that the United States government violated the constitutional rights of the three men by killing them without court review outside of an active war zone.
The Obama administration has contended that it has the authority to target suspected members of Al Qaeda outside the conflict in Afghanistan and Pakistan, particularly if a given individual poses what it calls an “imminent threat.” Although the US government had tagged Anwar al-Awlaki as a terrorist through controlled disclosures to the public and the media, Khan was merely suspected of being a propagandist, and the government has never alleged that Awlaki’s teenage son was involved in terrorism. Moreover, the ACLU argues, the US government has “defined the term ‘imminent’ so broadly as to negate its meaning.”
