Holder: Executive Branch Reviews Of Targeted Killings Count As ‘Due Process’

Holder: Executive Branch Reviews Of Targeted Killings Count As ‘Due Process’ | TPMMuckraker: "The Obama administration believes that executive branch reviews of evidence against suspected al-Qaeda leaders before they are targeted for killing meet the constitution’s “due process” requirement and that American citizenship alone doesn’t protect individuals from being killed, Attorney General Eric Holder said in a speech Monday.

“Due process and judicial process are not one and the same, particularly when it comes to national security,” Holder said. “The Constitution guarantees due process, not judicial process.”"
