  4. A second opinion on drone strikes

    The idea that the federal courts should play some role in deciding whether the government may kill U.S. citizens abroad allied with Al Qaeda has suddenly gained traction in Washington. During confirmation hearings for John Brennan, President Obama's nominee to head the Central Intelligence Agency, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), the chair of the Intelligence Committee, said she would be considering legislation to establish a court to "review the conduct" of U.S. drone strikes. Brennan himself, asked by Sen. Angus King (I-Maine) whether a court should scrutinize a decision to target a U.S. citizen for death, said the idea was "certainly worthy of discussion."

  8. The law of drones

    President Barack Obama's nominee to head the Central Intelligence Agency, John O. Brennan, was about as cagey as they come last week at his confirmation hearing before the Senate Intelligence Committee. Asked right off the bat by the committee chairwoman, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, whether he would be more forthcoming than his predecessors in apprising committee members of covert U.S. military operations abroad &mdash; particularly the administration's secret drone program of targeted killings &mdash; he vigorously affirmed that to be his intention. Then, for the next 31/2 hours, he politely declined to say virtually anything else of substance on the subject.

  9. Should U.S. citizens in Al Qaeda be tried for treason?

    In my <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-mcmanus-drones-20130210,0,6759551.column">Sunday column</a>, I wrote that it&rsquo;s past time for the Obama administration to subject its nomination of suspected terrorists for the &ldquo;kill list&rdquo; -- secret death warrants, to put it bluntly -- to some form of independent review, at least when the targets are U.S. citizens.

  12. McManus: The other drone question

    It has been 11 years since the United States began using missile-firing drones to attack Al Qaeda in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia. But only now are we beginning a full public debate on this new form of warfare, and it took the nomination of the Obama administration's drone czar, John Brennan, as director of the Central Intelligence Agency, to force it.
